The fact that our raw materials now reliably make their way from the extraction site to the customer is the result of a logistics infrastructure that has evolved over decades. It all began 40 years ago with the founding of mst Mineral-Speditions- und Transport-GmbH—a major milestone in the development of Quarzwerke’s logistics operations. Time for a #TBT, a look back:
For decades, quartz sands from Haltern have stood for the highest quality in the foundry industry. However, with increasing requirements – such as new binding systems and complex casting molds – the need for tailor-made solutions has grown. The answer: ready-made sands.
Our site in Haltern am See was dedicated to occupational safety for two days. Nine supervisors from the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the raw materials and chemical industry (BG RCI) accepted the invitation of the MIRO industry association’s occupational safety committee to delve deeper into the world of quartz sand extraction.
