Dead Sea Magnesium Ltd. (DSM)
Dead Sea Magnesium Ltd. (“DSM”) produces pure metal magnesium and magnesium alloys from the Dead Sea. Magnesium is used primarily by aluminum, titanium, steel and automotive industries around the globe, with primary markets served being the US and Western Europe. With access to abundant, low-cost raw materials, DSM is one of two major magnesium producers in the Western world and recognized internationally for its high quality products.
DSM’s operations are highly synergistic with ICL’s other production facilities adjacent to the Dead Sea. Its basic raw materials are supplied by neighboring ICL plants, while waste and by-products of its magnesium production process are used as inputs for other ICL operations, contributing to the overall optimization of ICL’s Dead Sea operations.
DSM’s strategy is focused on maintaining its position as a major player in the US market with a strengthened position worldwide. It continuously strives to improve its production efficiencies, logistics and collaboration with clients. DSM’s conversion from heavy fuel oil to natural gas is also expected to improve its financial performance.
