About Us: WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS . For generations, this slogan and the little girl who made it famous have made Morton Salt a familiar sight in many American homes. Since 1848, we've been America's leading producer of salt for grocery, water softening, ice control, agricultural and industrial uses. If you thought the Morton story began and ended with a little girl and an umbrella, we've got a lot to show you. Morton products aren't just for cooking! In 1999, Morton was acquired by Philadelphia-based Rohm and Haas Company, Inc. and operates as a division of that company today employing over 3000 people in production facilities, warehouses and offices throughout the United States, Canada (under the brand name Windsor Salt) and the Island of Inagua in the Bahamas.
