Moshe (Mosia) Langotsky with his armored vehicle in Sodom
On April 4, 1925, the first day of the Dead Sea Industries' years, Langotsky, at the request of Novomeysky, descended to the northern shore of the Dead Sea. He spent two and a half years alone in the area, conducting observations, surveys and initial production experiments of potash and bromine from the sea. Until the establishment of the Palestine Potash Company and the receipt of the concession on January 1, 1930, Langotsky ran the experimental site, which was joined by a group of pioneers. With the establishment of the company, he conducted the construction of the evaporation ponds, the pumping of sea water into the pools, the organization of land transport and the operation of the heavy mechanical equipment of the company. Until the end of the War of Independence he established and managed the company's sea department, which operated vessels between the plant in the north of the lake and the southern plant in Sdom; In those years it was the only transport link between the factory parts.
Moshe Langotsky was the first commander of the Haganah in the area. He was Novomeysky's right hand in special projects-pumping from deep levels of the sea; Preliminary surveys for the establishment of the factory branch in Sodom; The establishment of a system for the transfer of fresh water to Sodom from the springs of a-Safi in Trans-Jordan via a sea pipeline; Feasibility study Transportation between the Dead Sea and Beit She'an in the north and Aqaba in the south. After the War of Independence, in which the factory was destroyed in the north, and after all the workers of the potash company who had been under the siege of seven months in Sodom were evacuated, Langotsky remained with a handful of trustees to maintain and maintain the factory in Sodom.
With the establishment of the Dead Sea Works Company, the successor of the Palestine Potash Company in June 1952, Langotsky joined it. Dead Sea Works ran the heavy mechanical equipment department until he retired in 1969, following a 44-year continuous operation in the northern and southern Dead Sea.
