Morton Salt, Inc. announced this week it will stop all packaging and warehousing operations at its Elston Avenue facility in Chicago by the end of October, ending more than 85 years of operations at the site.
"Morton Salt reviews the efficiency and effectiveness of its operating network on a regular basis to serve customers in the best possible way," said Jim Vincent, vice president of operations for Morton Salt, Inc. "The analysis of our Elston facility showed that it would be more efficient to serve customers from other sites in our network."
