QUIMICA Y MINERA CHIL-SP ADR
Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM) is a Chilean chemical company and a supplier of plant nutrients, iodine, lithium and industrial chemicals. By 2017, it was the world's biggest lithium producer. Following the launch of Chile's National Lithium Strategy in 2023, SQM's lithium mining activities were transferred to the newly established Nova Andino Litio – a public–private joint venture with Codelco.
