Quarries
A quarry is an area where rock is broken up and divided into smaller stones and gravel. Here you can read about how Holmen works with rock products.
Society needs rock and gravel
Our community's development is dependent on rock and gravel, regardless of whether it is construction or maintenance. The foundation of roads and streets is gravel and ballast material that is covered with asphalt. Railways are built on banks of gravel and houses are built with concrete, which mainly consists of ballast material. The areas of application are many.
The demand for gravel and ballast materials in society is high and the need is expected to remain high in the future. It is of great importance that the work with material supply has a focus on sustainability with a strong degree of circularity.
