Twenty-five years ago, an important milestone was reached for the Quarzwerke Group in Melk: On September 7, 2001, the facility in Lower Austria was officially opened. What began as an ambitious project back then has since developed into a high-performing and versatile production site. A great occasion to look back as part of our Throwback Thursday.
More than 55 emergency responders from fire departments and the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) completed a hands-on off-road driving safety training course at the active open-pit mine of Amberger Kaolinwerke. The expansive terrain provided ideal conditions for training in the safe operation of vehicles on challenging terrain.
A gas explosion, fires in several parts of the facility, and missing persons: The Haltern am See Fire Department simulated this challenging scenario during its annual final drill on our company grounds. Fortunately, it was only a drill—but a very valuable one.
An interview with Mr. Danny Lee, Managing Director, HPF Minerals Ltd
After an impressive journey across Europe, our new all-electric dredger has successfully arrived at its destination and is currently being assembled. It will soon begin operations at our TKSM Biała Góra quartz sand plant.
125 years of Amberger Kaolinwerke, 30 years as part of the Quarzwerke Group—two anniversaries that symbolize tradition, change, and the future. Hardly anyone has been as closely involved in this development as Bernhard Neudecker. For over four decades, he held various positions at Amberger Kaolinwerke. Even today, he continues to contribute his experience to important future projects.
When quartz sand, shovels, and a whole lot of curiosity come together to create a pond in the school garden—that’s far more than just a nice project. That’s when nature comes to life. And that’s when we’re doing something right together.
What does a family-owned business in the raw materials extraction industry actually look like—and what really goes on there? At the FAMILIENUNTERNEHMER Family Day held at the Frechen site, business owners and their children were able to experience exactly that.
