Today, the use of advanced technologies makes it possible to break records in ore extraction and processing. Commissioning of a pilot hydraulic fill site allowed to increase the halite waste storage area without any additional allocation of arable land.
Production upgrades are continually underway, resulting in putting into operation of new mining and tunneling machines. The surface facilities are also being developed where the most efficient and energy-saving equipment is installed.

19 December 1969 – the State Commission signed the Certificate of Acceptance of the first stage of the 3rd Soligorsk Potash Plant.
1985 – implementation of the process flow for sodium chloride leaching, which made PU 3 one of the first to switch to the production of potassium chloride of the 1st grade only, with not less than 95% of KCl content.
1 March 1995 – a processing facility of 630 thous. tonnes of 100% K2O granulated fertilizer capacity was put into operation (Granulation Department No. 2).
1995 – a depressing reagent production shop (DRPS) was put into operation on the territory of production site 3 RU. Today, the production capacity of the shop for potato processing is 13 thous. tonnes per year; the production capacity of the depressing reagent is 2.2 thous. tonnes per year.
25 June 2013 – a workshop for production of compound fertilizers (NPK) was put into operation; a pilot batch of nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium fertilizers (Grade 13-13-21) was produced.
