In 1894 the first salt was produced. High demand for Cheetham Salt caused the organisation to purchase more land between Laverton and Point Cook in Victoria, producing food and industrial grades of salt and including on site accommodation for employees and families.
With a passion for growth and because of increasing demand, the company expanded its production into South Australia and Queensland. In 1903 the company changed its name to “The Cheetham Salt Propriety Limited”.

Over the next 80 years Cheetham established agreements and made acquisitions in South Australia and Queensland. In 1992 Cheetham Salt Limited was acquired by Ridley Corporation Ltd.
