The Company

K+S KALI GmbH is your global partner for the provision of potassium and magnesium products for agricultural purposes as well as for a wide range of technical, industrial and pharmaceutical applications. As one of the world’s leading potassium mining companies, the strengths of K+S KALI GmbH lie in the mining and processing of an assortment of raw salts, particularly those containing magnesium, in an efficient and environmentally conscious manner with unique technology. As a provider of special and mainstream fertilisers, as well as products for industrial applications, the company’s products can be seen in many areas of life. With a share of 11 percent, K+S KALI GmbH is the world’s fourth-largest producer of potassium products. It is also the world’s leading supplier of potassium sulphate and magnesium products.

An Authority on Potassium and Magnesium

The company has a long tradition of potassium mining and raw salt processing that builds on the fact that the potassium industry originated in Germany, more than 150 years ago.

Experience, hard work and innovation have made K+S KALI GmbH a technologically groundbreaking producer of quality products. This production is supported by extensive internal and external research activities.

Potent Mineral Fertilisers

K+S KALI GmbH provides a unique range of fertilisers. The company’s special fertilisers differ from standard potassium chloride in that they use additional nutrient forms and product upgrades. Various nutrient formulations containing potassium, magnesium, sulphur and trace minerals are perfectly adapted to a wide range of cultures and form the basis for crop-specific plant nutrition.

The development of K+S KALI’s fertiliser products is partly based on internal research, but also draws on results achieved by external agri-research institutions. These are complemented by findings from long-term, international field trials.

A global network of consultants disseminates this knowledge to customers every day. In doing so, K+S KALI GmbH plays a key role in establishing efficient and sustainable fertilisation systems throughout global agriculture.

High Quality Raw Materials

K+S KALI GmbH produces a wide range of the highest grade potassium and magnesium products for industrial applications, for the healthcare & food sector and for animal feed stuffs. The products are created with various levels of purity and specific granulations.

State of the art processes and a comprehensive quality management system throughout the entire processing chain ensure the compliance required to satisfy pharmacopoeia and industrial standards. The high quality products from K+S KALI GmbH therefore contribute to the safety of the entire chain - from industrial processing to the final product.

Worldwide Proximity to Customers

K+S KALI GmbH is well represented around the world. A global network of regional offices and contacts guarantees proximity to customers while sophisticated supply chain management ensures supply security to wherever the company’s customers are in the world.
