“Homer called salt a divine substance.  Plato described it as especially dear to the gods.  Salt has shaped civilisation from the beginning, and its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of mankind. 

So valuable that it is has often served as a currency, salt inspired the first trade routes across unknown oceans and the remotest deserts.  Wars have been fought over salt, and while salt taxes secured empires across Europe and Asia, they have also inspired revolution – Gandhi’s salt march in 1930 began the overthrow of British rule in India.”*

Whilst Salt Group is not as ambitious in its projects, we recognise salt’s unique part in the development of global trading practices, and that whilst trading mechanisms have evolved, the underlying need for security, integrity and certainty in transactions remains today.

Salt Group’s eBusiness consulting and security products and services address these needs in support of today’s markets.
