Who we are
K+S: diverse and international
The roots of the K+S Group date back to the middle of the 19th century. At that time, miners in Germany exploited the world's first potash deposits and started fertilizer production. Today, the K+S Group is an internationally oriented raw materials company with production sites in Europe and North America. More than 11,000 employees all over the world make K+S successful and dynamic. In the following, our employees tell us about their personal experiences with K+S:

K+S gives me the opportunity to gain completely new experiences on another continent and to improve the world a little with new ideas.

I am very happy that women can now also work underground. This has opened up great career prospects for me at K+S.
