The KNZ Brand

KNZ® is short for the name of the first Royal Dutch Salt factory (Koninklijke Nederlandse Zoutindustrie) founded in 1918 in the Netherlands. The KNZ® brand is owned by the AkzoNobel Company, also based in the Netherlands. The brand KNZ® is a worldwide well known brand, focusing on free choice and quality.

Free choice means that we do not put artificial components in our licks, like sweeteners. So the animals have to decide by themselves how much additional salt they need.

The high quality starts at the source. The salt is extracted in the Dutch area, thanks to a well controlled process and evaporation we can make licks from very pure (vacuum) salt. The sourcing for the minerals and vitamins are strict reliable and have the certificate of GMP. We use our knowledge and experience in pressing techniques to produce the high quality licks that meets our own high standards.
