Hellenic Saltworks

Hellenic Saltworks S.A. assumes a key role in ensuring the production of primary salt in the country and contributes to the development of the country’s salt lakes and rock salt through the mechanization and modernization of its operations. The company operates seven industrial-sized salt pans, with a total annual capacity of more than 200,000 tons, which produce more than 92% of domestic production and cover a total area of 24,334 acres.

In addition to their natural beauty, the saltworks serve as valuable habitats that combine wetland characteristics with extreme hypersaline grasslands. This unique coexistence creates a wealth of biodiversity, allowing for an increase in the population of species that are or are in danger of being endangered. All salt lakes are included in the Natura 2000 network, while some, including the larger salt lakes, are part of wider wetlands protected by the Ramsar Convention.
