The Executive Chairman of the McDan Group and Founder of Electrochem Ghana Ltd., Daniel McKorley has been named Salt Mining CEO of the Year at the 2025 Ghana CEO Summit, held in Accra on Monday, May 26.
The award acknowledges his leadership in revitalising one of Ghana’s long-neglected but strategically vital industries.
Receiving the accolade, McKorley alias McDan described the moment as a celebration of collective effort and long-term vision. “What a year it’s turning out to be,” he said. “I’m very humbled. This award is not just about me—it’s about the vision we pursued, the relationships we’ve built, and most importantly, the team behind the success story.”
Under his leadership, Electrochem Ghana has transformed the Ada Songor Salt Project into a cornerstone of Ghana’s mineral economy.
The company now operates one of West Africa’s largest salt pans and has significantly scaled up production while maintaining a strong commitment to community development and environmental stewardship.
“This is for our staff, particularly our field workers. Their dedication, consistency, and resilience keep us at the top of our game,” he said, dedicating the award to his team.
He also acknowledged the clients who have trusted the company’s vision. “When we started, it seemed almost impossible to imagine working with the calibre of clients we now serve. This award belongs to them too.”
Electrochem’s rapid growth over the past five years reflects what can be achieved through targeted investment and strong leadership.
The company’s advances in salt processing, employment creation, and infrastructure modernisation have not only revitalised the local economy but are also positioning Ghana as a key player in the global salt trade.
