Founded in 1997, American Rock Salt Company operates the Hampton Corners mine in Western New York, producing American-mined rock salt for winter road de-icing. The mine is the largest producing salt mine in the United States, with daily output ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 tons and distribution across the Northeast. Its story also carries a multigenerational local connection: four generations of the Bucci family have worked in the region’s salt-mining industry.
