Who is K+S?
K+S is a German company with roots dating back to the nineteenth century. K+S was founded in 1889 as Aktiengesellschaft für Bergbau und Tiefbohrung and over more than a century grew into one of the largest salt companies in the world.

K+S in the Netherlands
K+S also has a direct connection with the Netherlands through its subsidiary Esco. Frisia Zout in Harlingen extracts vacuum salt from a salt layer at a depth of approximately 2800 meters and later merged into Esco, a part of K+S. Annually, about 1.2 million tons of salt are extracted in Harlingen. So there's a good chance that the salt in your water softener literally comes from Dutch soil.
