A trusted partnership delivering salt safely to shelves

Mondi is strengthening its long standing partnership with Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke, one of Europe’s top salt producers.

Known for the Bad Reichenhaller Alpensalz brand, the company produces everything from table and pharmaceutical salt to de-icing and animal feed salt – a natural product that demands the highest standards of protection at every stage.

Mondi has been supplying Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke with sturdy trays for shelf placement and robust outer packaging for transport for several years, as well as sift proof solid board packaging for direct food contact.

Martin Horn, head of procurement, direct materials and commodities, at Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke, said: ‘Mondi is a reliable partner for us – with coordinated logistics, high product safety and a packaging range from primary packaging to transport solutions. This ensures that our natural product, salt, remains optimally protected throughout the entire supply chain.’

Mondi’s three plant collaboration ensures salt – a challenging product to package – remains dry, safe and hygienic through every stage of its journey.

The company’s Forchheim site produces high quality solid board sales packaging that is food safe, sift proof and offset printed in up to six colours. Made from European primary fibres sourced from FSC certified Scandinavian forests, the packaging is approved for direct food contact.

Mondi Grünburg supplies flexo printed corrugated trays designed to keep products secure during transport while supporting effective shelf placement, whist the Bad Rappenau site manufactures corrugated transport boxes for products such as dishwasher salt and animal salt lick stones, with exports to the UK market.

The strengthened partnership between the two companies comes as part of a broader milestone: Mondi has added food safe solid board packaging to its portfolio following the acquisition of the Western Europe assets of the former Schumacher Packaging in April 2025. Customers can now access a complete range of packaging solutions – from primary to transport – all from a single source.
