Dos Anclas Reopens Rebuilt Salinas del Bebedero Plant

A US$25 million saline‑adapted rebuild with a new San Luis distribution center strengthens Dos Anclas’s processing and logistics for industrial, retail and export markets.

Overview

  • The company formally restarted operations in mid‑August 2026, three years after an August 12, 2023 fire that destroyed most of the Salinas del Bebedero facility.
  • Dos Anclas invested US$25 million to rebuild a 5,000 m², nearly 20‑metre high plant that the company says can process up to 50 tonnes of salt per hour to restore lost capacity.
  • The reconstruction added new hoppers, a washer, a high‑efficiency dryer, sieving systems, remilling circuits and modern packaging machines to cover the full industrialization chain from extraction to packaged product.
  • The site will host a new San Luis distribution center with 4,000 storage positions that joins the firm's existing nodes in Moreno and La Pampa to improve national logistics and export flow.
  • Company leaders and San Luis officials attended the reopening, which signals resumed local production, potential job recovery in the region and closer monitoring of supply to retail, industrial and export customers.
