Schweizer Salinen AG, Salt production facility in Rheinfelden, Switzerland
The Schweizer Salinen AG factory processes salt through extraction, purification, and packaging methods, producing between 400,000 and 650,000 tonnes annually for Switzerland's needs.
The facility belongs to a network of Swiss saltworks that started in 1909 when the United Swiss Saltworks on the Rhine was established to centralize salt production.
This industrial complex reflects Switzerland's commitment to self-sufficiency, as it maintains complete control over the national salt supply through cantonal ownership.
The factory operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours that explain the technical processes of modern salt extraction.
The facility supplies salt to all Swiss cantons at uniform prices through the Concordat agreement of 1973, ensuring equal access across the confederation.
