TESP (company)

TESP (English: Society for the Exploitation of Potassium Salt, Polish: Towarzystwo Eksploatacji Soli Potasowych) was a private mining enterprise, which existed in the Second Polish Republic, with head office in Lwow. It operated potassium salt mines in Kalusz and Stebnik, and sponsored a soccer team TESP Kalusz. Before World War I, the potassium salt mines in Kalusz and Stebnik had been operated by the government of Austria-Hungary.[1]

In 1961 in its place was created a big Soviet chemical and metallurgical association Khlorvinil that used to employ some 17,000 workers.[2]
