EuSalt: The European Salt Producers' Association
EuSalt is an international non profit association with a multi-functional role. Primarily EuSalt exists to provide information, about salt and its many uses, to the general public and other interested parties. We also aim to encourage a better understanding of salt and recognition of the role it plays in our lives whether it is helping us get around in winter, keeping our bodies functioning or any of the many other uses for salt, in the home and industry. At all times, EuSalt aims to present a factual, balanced viewpoint and we regularly participate in relevant European and international forums.
Another part of our role is to support international organisations like the Iodine Network, who are working to eliminate iodine deficiency worldwide, by sharing our expertise and knowledge.
EuSalt represents 21 salt producers (its members) located across Europe. Working closely with our members, the association encourages best practice on many aspects of production including environmental policies. We also liaise with the national salt associations across Europe, providing help, information and support when necessary.
Founded in Paris in 1957, as the European Committee for the Study of Salt (ECCS), the organisation subsequently developed into the European Salt Producers' Association (ESPA). At the beginning of 2004, the association moved to Brussels and was renamed EuSalt.
