Limestone – a key ingredient of civilisation

As of 22 February, David Johansson is the new Logistics Manager at SMA Mineral. This means that he has overall responsibility for the logistics solutions used by the Group.

Did you know that lime has been a part of human civilisation for thousands of years? How long exactly nobody knows, but floor structures dating back just over 9,000 years that used lime binders have been found in the Mediterranean countries. Mankind therefore needs lime in various forms and it enhances our quality of life – yesterday, today and tomorrow.

SMA Mineral produces agricultural lime at four units in Falköping, Stigtomta, Rättvik and Filipstad. Annual sales are 30,000–40,000 tonnes, from Hälsingland in the north to Kalmar in the south.
