At Nordkalk, the Development and Growth (D&G) team plays a key role in ensuring the company stays innovative and competitive. The department focuses on enhancing processes and products, collaborating closely with production teams, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to safety as their guiding principle.
Understanding the geology of raw materials is the foundation of the D&G team’s work. The mineral composition and chemical properties of deposits are key in determining how these materials can be processed and applied. This geological know-how enables the team to develop efficient, valuable products while also exploring new uses for existing resources
From lab experiments to full-scale site trials, the D&G team tests new technologies following strict safety protocols, including Nordkalk’s “Take 5” principle – a practice of pausing to assess safety before any procedure. The in-house development laboratory plays a vital role here, with pilot facilities allowing small-scale testing before wider implementation. This systematic approach ensures practical solutions that are cost-effective and easy to implement across Nordkalk’s sites.
The D&G team also supports Nordkalk’s customers through their application laboratory. By understanding customer processes and challenges, they provide tailored solutions that add value while maintaining high safety standards. Their close collaboration with the sales team helps maintain strong customer relationships, ensuring the best outcomes for all parties involved.
As industry demands evolve and sustainability becomes increasingly important, the D&G team continues to be at the forefront of Nordkalk’s innovation journey. Their combination of geological expertise, technological advancement, and customer-focused development, all underpinned by a strong safety culture, positions Nordkalk to meet tomorrow’s challenges while delivering value today. Through their commitment to research, and development, the D&G team ensures Nordkalk remains a leader in providing sustainable limestone-based solutions for generations to come.
