WE Soda

WE Soda is the global leader in the production of natural soda ash, recognized for supplying a high-quality, low carbon and water-intensity product to a wide range of industries. WE Soda extracts trona ore and processes it into soda ash, which is essential for manufacturing glass, detergents, lithium-ion batteries, and solar panels. The company also produces other specialty products such as sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, used in food production, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, and water treatment.

WE Soda’s first operations were in Türkiye where commerical production using solution-extraction mining began in 2009. The group manages two large-scale facilities near Ankara accessing the region’s only commercial trona deposits. In March 2025, WE Soda acquired Genesis Alkali, the largest US-based producer of natural soda ash with two facilities in Green River, Wyoming, home of the world’s largest trona ore deposit. The acquisition established WE Soda as the largest global producer of soda ash.

Headquartered in London, WE Soda has grown rapidly and now produces approximately 9.5 million tonnes of soda ash annually. The company exports to over 80 countries, supported by an integrated global supply chain and dedicated export terminals. WE Soda is committed to sustainability, safety, and innovation, earning accolades for its low-carbon production methods and holding certifications from organizations like EcoVadis.
