About SMA | SMA Mineral

Expect a little more

SMA Mineral originated when the Juvél family, which at the time owned Juvéls Åkeri haulage in Filipstad, Sweden, purchased the Gåsgruvan lime works from Uddeholm in 1980. Today, SMA Mineral, with 23 production units in five countries, is a modern business operating in a traditional industry.
By combining the extraction of limestone with expert processing, SMA Mineral has become a leading supplier of high-quality limestone and calcium carbonate products that are used in a huge range of applications. 
 
Good products, knowledgeable and enthusiastic employees and reliable supplies are essential for both us and our customers. That’s why our brand promise sets the bar higher: expect a little more.
Where it all started

Where it all started

Gåsgruvan quarry in Persberg outside Filipstad, Sweden, is based in a mining area that dates back to the 14th century. This was SMA Mineral’s first quarry and is also home to its head office and its own laboratory.

Gåsgruvan is one of the company’s largest quarries. The deposit is 1.4 kilometres long, around 150 metres wide and at least 250 metres deep.

The lime works, located right next to the open pit, processes around 200,000 tonnes of limestone a year.
