Société des Salins du Midi et des Salines de l'Est

Société des Salins du Midi et des Salines de l'Est was a French company primarily involved in the extraction and processing of salt from seawater through salt evaporation ponds. Operating mainly in southern France, it played a significant role in the salt industry by managing salt production and distribution. The company contributed to regional economies by providing salt for various uses, including food preservation and industrial applications. Over time, like many traditional salt producers, it faced competition from modern methods and changing markets, leading to eventual restructuring or absorption into larger industrial organizations.
