EUsalt is the leading association of salt manufacturers, representing 19 European nations and beyond. As the voice of the world's second-largest salt-producing region, we represent around 80% of Europe's total salt output. Its mission is to promote the salt industry in Europe, highlighting its critical role in the chemical and energy industries and its value to health, safety, and nutrition.
Salt is indispensable in various industries, including food, agriculture, chemicals, water treatment, and road safety, underscoring its everyday importance. The EU's self-sufficient salt sector enhances the region's economic and strategic independence while promoting sustainability.
