Their market is mainly centered in Bergen, but they also take on assignments in the outskirts such as Os, Sotra, Askøy, Nordhordland and the areas around and towards Vaksdal. They work in an industry that is undergoing significant development, and are seeing an increased demand, as well as interest in outdoor spaces both in the public and the private sector.

What products do you buy from Saltimport?
"With regard to the fact that we use salt for winter maintenance, it is mainly road salt. Previously, we mainly bought in bulk/loose weight, but we have now switched to buying more in big bags/BB, and some in 25 kg bags on a pallet," says Hopland.

He continues to say that it depends on where they are going to use the salt. In some cases, it is more convenient with small bags as they are easier to handle, but they also sometimes buy bulk through the self-service plant as needed. The big bags and pallets are great for storage.
During the winter season, they also buy calcium chloride for use where there is concrete cover. Here, their experience is that this works much better, and the concrete is not damaged as it can be with regular road salt.
