Salt is sustainably extracted from rock salt deposits at a depth of 400 to 500 meters in the Twente soil. We produce salt for the chemical industry and for de-icing. Salt has been extracted safely and responsibly in Twente by the same company for more than 100 years, since 1918 - the Royal Dutch Salt Industry (KNZ), which became AkzoNobel and is now Nobian.
