Community engagement in Denmark

Dansk Salt's activities to involve local community, 2023

Community engagement

Our Danish salt production site in Mariager, takes great care to involve its local community. This includes holding information events about its new salt extraction wells in Hvornum, its contribution to the community, including through the Mariager Salt Center, as well as during its own 60th anniversary celebrations in September 2023.

Open house

More than 330 invited guests, including neighbors in Assens and Hvornum, employees with their families, the mayor and deputy mayor, and the Director of Technology and Environment in Mariagerfjord municipality, joined in the celebrations at the Dansk Salt/Nobian ‘Open Plant Reception and Tour’.

They learned about development projects such as the new energy-efficient electric boiler and mechanical vapor recompression, a high-efficiency heat pump technology that uses only a third of the energy of the current production process. They were also informed about plans to expand production by 400,000 tons of salt per year and how we reduce the CO₂ and fresh water footprint.
