Enough food for the world

With its high-quality fertilizers, K+S makes an important contribution to feeding the constantly growing world population.

Potassium - important for a good harvest

The basic prerequisite for high crop yields and top quality is an optimum supply of potassium.

Growing tomatoes in a greenhouse

Water-soluble potassium chloride and potassium sulfate, among other things, are used in fertilization so that vegetables - such as tomatoes - can grow well.

Industrial applications

With a wide range of high-quality potash, magnesium and salt products, K+S offers solutions that keep industries running.

Products for the oil industry

Among other things, K+S supplies potassium-containing products to the oil industry that have been specially developed to meet the requirements of drilling operations.

Products for the pharmaceutical industry

K+S high-purity salts are used in infusion and dialysis solutions for a wide variety of medical indications.

Food grade salts for carefree enjoyment

Whether as a spice or preservative - salt has been an essential part of our diet for thousands of years.

Salt for water softening

K+S tablets made of high-purity evaporated salt are used to soften water in restaurants, hotels, car washes, and hospitals.

Naturally pure quality

We enrich the lives of consumers every day with high-quality table salts from natural sources.

Salt from the deep

K+S's de-icing salt mostly comes from rock salt deposits that were formed about 230 million years ago as a result of the evaporation of ancient oceans.

Safely on track

With our de-icing salts we ensure safe roads and paths in winter in many towns and communities.

Always close to the customer

We supply our customers with suitable de-icing agents in the required quantity at the right time and at the desired location.

From the depths

In several rock salt mines in Europe and North America, K+S mines salts at depths of several hundred meters.

Natural minerals for plants

K+S produces the fertilizer potassium chloride in conventional mining in Germany and in solution mining in Canada.

The underground giants

The loaders transport up to 17 tonnes of crude salt underground in the K+S mines.

Anchors keep the mine safe

The ridge anchor drill rig is used to place 1.2 meter long threaded rods in the ceilings of the mine in order to fasten the salt layers together.

Solution mining in Canada

Solution mining in Canada involves pumping water deep down through pipes, dissolving the salt rock in huge caverns and then pumping it back up again.

Traveling west with 13,000 horsepower

Huge freight trains transport the potassium chloride about 1,800km from the Canadian Bethune plant through the Rocky Mountains to the port facility in Vancouver.

Across the ocean to the customer

At the port facility in Vancouver, potassium chloride is loaded onto an Ultramax Bulk Carrier and then shipped to Brazil.

Innovation on tracks

In Europe, K+S has its products transported in the new Tanpps bulk goods railway car. It is equipped with low-noise bogies and whisper brakes.
