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. Parallel to the construction phase which is coming to its end, the commissioning phase begins, i.e. the start-up of individual elements of the production line. Its finalisation is scheduled for the end of the second quarter of this year. Afterwards, the phase of gradual production increase is going to begin, which will involve the attainment of the assumed parameters of the plant's performance – this stage will end, as per current schedule, by the end of September 2021. The investment worth approx. EUR 140 M will make the CIECH Group one of the largest manufacturers of evaporated salt in Europe, and will strengthen the position of the Group as one of the most important Polish private investors abroad.
