“Our cooperation with Nouryon started many years ago. We have great confidence in them and always get very good service”

Lyckeby Culinar, located outside of Kristianstad in southern Sweden, produces spices and other seasonings for the food industry in the Nordic market; snacks, sauces, cured meats, ready-made meals, marinades, etc.

Jeanette Hansson works as a Purchase Manager at Lyckeby Culinar: “We mainly produce savory seasonings and use about 4,000 tons of salt per year in our operations. Most of what we buy is Suprasel from Nouryon. A lot of it is delivered in bulk to our silos, but we also buy many different qualities, depending on what is in demand; large or small grains, flakes, sea salt, various kinds of specialty salts.”

“There are trends in salt as well and if our customers require a specific salt type, we can get it for them. Here we cooperate with Nouryon, who has a wide product portfolio and has always been able to deliver what we have requested.”

“Our cooperation with Nouryon started many years ago. We have great confidence in them and always get very good service,” concludes Jeanette Hansson.

“Smoking our fish the efficient and sustainable way”

Their grandfather was a fishmonger. As a young man his son, the father of Niklas and Pernilla Korshag, smoked the fish leftovers in the garden as a hobby. Today, Korshags is the largest smoke house in Sweden. The company produces over 1.000 tons of smoked fish per year – mainly salmon – and employs 58 people. Salt is one of the most important ingredients, both as a flavor and as a preservative. Korshags uses 130-150 tons of salt per year, today exclusively Suprasel. “Previously, we used salt granules and experienced challenges with production interruptions. Also the transportation of the salt was not really efficient. At the initiative of Nouryon we switched to Suprasel and now we produce brine directly in our silo. This way our production process is much more efficient with an easier handling, and we have fewer shipments (all full trucks). It benefits both our business and the environment. With Nouryon we have a reliable, professional partner with a strong focus on sustainability. We get a clean, high quality product and we use resources more efficiently.”

“We have a good working relationship characterized by great flexibility”

At Danish Crown in Sønderborg (DK) we produce 160 tons of meat every day. Our main product is Smoked saddle of pork, which are exported to England to end their days as bacon in the traditional English breakfast. Salt is very important for the quality of our product. In my job as a salt manager at Danish Crown I’m completely dedicated to this aspect of the production process. The salt affects the taste and durability of the meat, as well as the capability to bind water and to preserve the proteins. At the same time salt ensures that the germ numbers in our bacon do not exceed the threshold value. This number stands for the bacterial content of the meat. In my 32 years as a salt manager, the germ number never exceeded the threshold value. This is something we are proud of, here at Danish Crown. All these years I have been working with the Salt Specialty business of Nouryon. We have a good working relationship, resulting in smooth logistics; the salt car passes by southern Jutland 1-2 times every week.
