How we operate
We focus on safety, quality and the environment.
The processing of lime and dolime from extraction to final delivery of the end product to the customer, is a complex operation that comprises a number of steps. Each processing phase requires specific competencies and expertise. At all process stages, Lhoist focuses on safety, quality and the environment.
Our manufacturing processes
Each step of the process is assessed, from site identification, through blasting, mining, processing and delivery. We constantly work to discover new uses for our products and optimize practices. By anticipating future applications, we continuously provide our customers with innovative and value-adding solutions.
The future of mining
Lhoist has always invested in developing outstanding exploration and extraction techniques. This allows us to identify lime and mineral deposits that best fit your operations. Over our lengthy history we have built up deep knowledge of the best way to explore our reserves and use them in the most efficient way. This enables us to harness new and existing technologies to commit our supply for the future and to make our operations more sustainable, safer and more efficient. We do this at every step of the mining life cycle: as we explore, design, build, operate and close our sites.
Restoring Nature
Since our business is all about valorizing a natural resource taken from the ground, Lhoist firmly believes that we must give back more. Owning deposits for long periods before we begin operations means we can study the site and ensure that when we leave, several decades later, we not only restore the natural site, but actually enhance it.
That's how we operate
