We were honored to welcome representatives from Väylävirasto / Trafikledsverket / Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency ELY-keskus - Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, the Municipality Director of Pargas stad - Paraisten kaupunki Tom Simola and Planning Manager of Pargas Heidi Saaristo-Levin to Nordkalk yesterday. The visit started at our viewpoint and continued at our HQ, where our Logistics & Sales and Operations Planning Director, Riikka Hynynen, delivered an interesting presentation on Nordkalk's operations and our contribution to maintaining the security and efficiency of society. Riikka highlighted how vital the transport infrastructure between the archipelago and mainland Finland is to us.

Over 2.300 tons of lime are being spread across Dalsland’s lakes and wetlands in Sweden to combat acidification and protect vital ecosystems. This autumn, 70 tons of Nordkalk’s lime from our Falköping quarry are being used in Mellerud’s water bodies. Liming is essential to maintaining natural pH levels, ensuring healthy aquatic life, and preserving the quality of drinking water. This project is led by Dalslands Miljö- och energikontor and executed by MOVAB. While the challenge of acidification persists, projects like these demonstrate the effectiveness of lime products in restoring and maintaining the balance in nature. More about this particular project in Melleruds Nyheter in Swedish. #waterquality #lakeliming #environmentprotection #liming #limewisesolutions #nordkalk #brightertomorrow

The white limestone from Pargas quarry is used in the making of many everyday commodities. For example, did you know that all the eggs 🥚 produced in Finland have a little bit of Pargas lime in them?

It was quite the operation at our site in Uddagården in Sweden recently when we successfully swapped out the old drying drum that is used to dry fodder lime with. The old drum had been in use since 2001. With four different subcontractors in the mix, we had a crane firm, electrical firm, mechanical firm, and gas firm all working together during the Swedish industrial holiday! The drying drum, weighing in at 11 tonnes, required two cranes to lift it in and out with absolute precision. The crane operators had their work cut out for them, with very little room for error! Well done Uddagården! #cooperation #uddagården #dryingdrum #rocksolidprofessionals #welldone! #nordkalk #brightertomorrow

Limestone is a natural resource available in a wide spectrum of colours, from white and cream to gray, blue, brown, and black. These colours result from various impurities and minerals present during formation. Our Pargas white limestone, with its exceptional purity and bright white colour, stands out as a notable example. Dating back approximately 1.9 billion years, it is a significant geological formation. The stone from the Pargas quarry is used in construction, water treatment and agriculture. #limestone #colours #geology #limewisesolutions #pargas #nordkalk #brightertomorrow

Kalk är en oumbärlig del av vår vardag! Den renar vårt vatten, berikar våra jordar och skyddar oss från farliga rökgaser. Dessutom spelar den en nyckelroll inom industrin, från att rena stål till att bygga våra vägar 💧 ⛏️ Gruvindustrin är inget undantag; där behövs kalk för pH-reglering, stabilisering, filtrering och mycket mer. Kalkens mångsidighet är kritisk för vår samhällsutveckling, utan den skulle faktiskt det mesta i vår vardag inte finnas eller fungera 💻 📱 Läs mer här: 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ddgzQHtM
