What our employees say

Salt is a precious and irreplaceable raw material and I am proud to work for a company with such a beautiful history. Going back in time and imagining the hard work of the first miners in this magical and mysterious world also conveys fundamental values with a symbolic character. In my motivating job, I particularly appreciate the autonomy granted to us by the management in the performance of our functions and the trust we enjoy in carrying out our various tasks. Numerous improvements have been made to modernize our structures and offer high-quality working conditions. At all levels, our employees give their best and are constantly committed to meeting our targets. Each and every one of us is an indispensable link in the chain and contributes - often in the background - to countless realizations.
