The Beginning
Olaus Olsson arrives in Melbourne from Sweden and eventually settles in Parramatta, NSW.
Olaus opens his first grocery store in Parramatta.
Olaus and his sons start delivering blocks of ice to homes in Western Sydney.
Olsson Industries is formed by Norman Olsson, Olaus's youngest son, along with his sons Charles and Malcolm. This was in response to a demand from graziers for supplements to support the nutritional needs of their livestock during a severe drought.
Charles and Norman purchase Pacific Salt, their first salt works located in Warooka, South Australia.
Charles and Malcolm take over the lease of salt works from BHP north of Whyalla, South Australia.
Charles, Malcolm, and their cousin Don Olsson embark on building a new solar sea salt plant in Port Alma, Queensland. The construction takes five years to complete.
Charles Olsson becomes the sole managing director of Olsson Pacific.
Olsson's Sea Salt successfully launches their sea salt flakes in the Australian gourmet community. These flakes are now used in various renowned establishments across the country.
Olsson's introduces the macrobiotic sea salt and the highly anticipated Black Truffle Salt at the end of the truffle season.
Olsson's Smoked Salt, which undergoes a 72-hour smoking process on Red Gum, is being prepared for the market.
