In this animation we explain the importance of salt, salt production and salt chemistry for the Netherlands and the important role Nobian plays.
Salt is an indispensable raw material for society, in sustainability and the energy transition.
Salt is an irreplaceable and indispensable raw material. More than half the products we use every day contain ingredients made from Dutch salt. Consulting firm Roland Berger has identified the social and economic benefits of salt production in the Netherlands.
The Dutch soil contains a layer of salt that is easily accessible in several locations for safe, responsible and sustainable salt production. This is high-purity salt, which is needed for the production of essential chemicals. Industry uses it to make the products we use every day. Thanks to salt production, the Netherlands and Western Europe always have access to this indispensable and strategic raw material for industry and society.
Nobian produces high purity salt, essential chemicals and energy for industries ranging from construction and cleaning to pharmaceuticals and water treatment. We have a long history of salt production dating back more than 100 years, to 1918. We ensure that today's essential products, such as medicines, textiles, insulation materials, wind turbines and electric cars, will continue to improve our lives in the future.
