Company profile

Thyborøn Nordsø Ral A/S was founded in 1995. Our company has a wealth of experience in the gravel industry as Thyborøn Nordsø Ral A/S was originally a division of Vejlby Grusleje – a 50 year-old gravel pit located approximately 10 km west of Lemvig in Denmark. Production at Vejlby Grusleje ceased in 2001, after which we transferred our activities to Thyborøn Nordsø Ral.

Quality requirements for gravel are very high, as generally the building industry may use only the very best materials for all types of building projects. The offshore aggregate supplied by Thyborøn Nordsø Ral A/S is proven to meet even the highest quality requirements and, as a result, sales are significant and growing.

In 2008, Thyborøn Nordsø Ral A/S became part of the large Belgian concern, Group de Cloedt, which has more than a century of experience within the industry.

Also in 2008, Thyborøn Nordsø Ral moved from Thyborøn harbour to new and larger facilities at the city’s new South Terminal. The company now has 82,000 m2 of storage and production facilities and 200 m of dock front with 8 m-deep water at its disposal. Ships up to 10.000 tonnes can dock here. The company has invested in new aggregate grading plant with capacity to sort 500–700 tonnes of aggregate per hour.

Thyborøn Nordsø Ral A/S is a well established and professional company employing eight staff. Our brand new South Terminal facility includes a 700 m2 warehouse, 200 m2 of office space, our own laboratory and modern changing room facilities.

Natural sea aggregate is extracted from the Jutland Bar in the North Sea . The aggregate is then shipped to port where it is pumped ashore, graded and mixed. Modern and highly efficient equipment is used for grading and delivering the offshore aggregate. In 2008, the company purchased the largest Volvo Wheel Loader L350F, which can carry 25 tonnes per load.

At our dock, we load ships with graded aggregate for our Danish, German, Dutch and Belgian customers. Today, our loading capacity is 800–900 tonnes per hour, but planned investments in new loading facilities will increase this figure to approximately 1,500 tonnes per hour.

With brand new and state-of-the-art facilities at our South Terminal, Thyborøn Nordsø Ral is well equipped to the meet the challenges of the future.
