Staßfurt, June 22, 2021 - For the CIECH Group, a leader in the production of salt, soda ash and baking soda in the European Union, 2021 is a special year. In addition to the existing soda plant in Staßfurt (Saxony-Anhalt), it is commissioning one of the most modern and environmentally friendly plants for the production of evaporated salt - and at the same time creating around 140 new jobs.

Upon completion of the main construction work at the new CIECH evaporated salt plant in Stassfurt, Germany, the new factory was officially put into commissioning. On Xx May, after the assembly of the technology had been verified, a test batch of wet salt was produced meeting the assumed physicochemical parameters. For the new factory, wet salt is the core product, which is the basis for the production of dry salt with different applications, as well as salt tablets for water treatment.

The main construction work on the site of the new salt plant in Stassfurt, Germany, is coming to an end. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, a modern plant was built in just a year, which will ultimately produce approx. 450 thousand tonnes of evaporated salt per annum.
