Texas Brine Company, LLC, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the largest independent brine producer in the United States, supplying over 30% of the brine requirements of the chlor-alkali industry. Through the Responsible Care initiative and the Responsible Care Global Charter, our industry has made a worldwide commitment to improve our environmental, health, safety and security performance. Accordingly, we subscribe to the guiding principles contained in our TBC Environmental, Health, Safety & Security Policy. Texas Brine is a family-owned business based in Houston, with a proud heritage in salt-related businesses since 1926. Texas Brine helped pioneer the commercial production of brine through solution mining in Texas salt domes, developing its first well in 1946, and co-founded the Solution Mining Research Institute to promote understanding and expertise in the evolving field. The cornerstone of Texas Brine is customer commitment - from operating customer-owned assets to developing and owning greenfield sites dedicated to a customer's plant. As an independent company, we focus on the needs of our customers. With an emphasis on quick response and empowered knowledgeable employees, we are proud of our long history of providing safe and reliable brine supply. Due to this commitment to service, it is no surprise that Texas Brine has customer relationships that span half a century.
