About Dominion Salt
Pioneer of New Zealand Solar Salt Industry
The story of Dominion Salt has been called ‘the story of a great New Zealand Industry’ and much of the accolade sits firmly at the feet of our founder, George Waldermar Skellerup. With a vision to create salt by the solar method in New Zealand, George Skellerup defied many critics and cynics and proved that with tenacity and a clear focus, anything is possible.
As testimony and since 1949, Dominion Salt has been turning out enough salt crystals at Lake Grassmere to produce a mountain of salt each harvest season, satisfying customer requirements across the country and the globe. To honour George Skellerup, a monument is sited at Lake Grassmere where his entrepreneurial spirit is encapsulated as follows:

The winds of Lake Grassmere, aided by the sunshine and science, work today in the service of man. G. W. Skellerup was never dismayed by the many set backs and disappointments as his vision went far beyond them. They were but another challenge to the ingenuity of a man who said:
“I am doing this because I believe it is worth doing and I have the chance to do it.”
