Brand of Lasselsberger Group

It all begins
beneath the surface.

A tradition
that commits us

We are an extraction company with a tradition of more than 150 years. We supply natural raw materials that form the basis of modern society. We build on stability, expertise and long-term relationships.

We extract and process mineral raw materials for industrial use. We place emphasis on consistent quality, reliable deliveries and an understanding of our customers’ applications.

More than extraction

Our work does not end with the extracted raw material. Discover the areas in which we create value every day – for customers, for the landscape and for the regions.

Company history

Our roots reach back to 1785, when clay began to be extracted in the area around Skalná. Since then we have come a long way, gradually adding further extraction sites such as Chlumčany, Horní Bříza, Kaznějov and Borovany.

Today we are part of the strong Lasselsberger group, and under the LB MINERALS brand we combine the history of Czech mining with modern, environmentally friendly technologies and practices.

Our history is closely linked to the development of industry in the Czech Republic. For us, a tradition of extraction means experience that we pass on across generations.
