The Bergmannssegen-Hugo works is an old-established production site in the greater area of Hanover. Even though no crude salt has been mined at the site since 1994, it is still an important component of the “specialty strategy” within K+S KALI GmbH’s. Its core competences are logistics, as well as process and product development. A granulation laboratory is available on-site for this development work .

Because of the facility’s central location its flexibility in terms of logistics and traffic connections is unprecedented. It is situated close to the Nether Saxon north/south and east/west rail and road junctions and has its own inland canal with dock. The works offers a range of services particularly for regional fertiliser sales.
With approximately 150 employees, the Bergmannssegen-Hugo works is one of the most important regional employers. Potassium and magnesium production significantly contributes to the region’s economy. This facility regularly award contracts to regional sub-contactors and service providers, thereby creating an economic base for a large number of regional jobs. The site is also committed to supporting social institutions, associations and clubs.
