On October 5th, 2023, we had the incredible opportunity to embark on a company visit to K+S Minerals and Agriculture GmbH Werk Zielitz. It was an enriching experience that allowed us not only to witness the intricacies of their production site but also to marvel at the awe-inspiring "Kalimandscharo" of Saxony-Anhalt. This remarkable creation stands as an artificial mountain, primarily composed of sodium chloride (NaCl), and boasts an astonishing height of approximately 200 meters.

As we explored the production facilities, we were truly impressed by the dedication and expertise of the K+S Minerals and Agriculture team. Their commitment to sustainable practices and cutting-edge technology was evident at every step of the visit, reaffirming their position as industry leaders.

It was a day filled with inspiration and learning, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the remarkable achievements in Saxony-Anhalt's landscape and industry.
