Today, K+S Aktiengesellschaft unveiled a new aquaponic research container at its headquarters in Kassel. Speaking at a press conference, Dr. Burkhard Lohr, the chairman of the K+S Board of Executive Directors, and Alexa Hergenröther, the managing director of K+S KALI GmbH, accompanied by Christian Geselle, the lord mayor of Kassel, explained why aquaponics and research and innovation were so important for the company.

In a decision communicated today, the Jena Higher Regional Court has found that the searches and seizures conducted by the Meiningen Public Prosecutor’s Office in business and private premises in September 2015 in connection with injecting at the Gerstungen trough were unlawful.

Frauke Riva (46) has been appointed the new Head of Corporate Communications at K+S Aktiengesellschaft.

The K+S Group generated moderately higher revenues in the third quarter and operating earnings rose significantly compared with the prior-year period. Enhanced product availability of specialties and higher fertilizer prices contributed to the increase in earnings.

In the second quarter of the year, the K+S Group saw its earnings rise compared to the same period in the previous year, mainly due to a significant improvement in the profit trend of the Potash and Magnesium Products business unit.

“We have started the new fiscal year with an increase in revenues. High demand for our fertilizer specialties and repeated strong performance in non de-icing salt business demonstrate that focusing on our two pillars is working,” says Norbert Steiner, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of K+S Aktiengesellschaft. “Furthermore, for the second quarter in a row, we have seen positive development in the average prices for potash and magnesium products as compared to the previous quarter,” Steiner continues.
