Starting point
___
The development of SALEE - Technology GmbH is based on the many years of experience of David & Hansjörg Oberhollenzer's and Christian Feistmantl. They were looking for a more environmentally friendly and efficient alternative to conventional salt spreading in winter service, as conventional methods cause massive environmental damage and represent an unnecessary waste of resources. Traditional salt spreaders, which are often used in an uncontrolled manner due to legal liability requirements, result in large quantities of road salt being spread even in non-winter temperatures.
___
Philosophy and foundation
___
In view of this problem, the idea was born to develop a new, more efficient system for salt spreading in order to surpass and redefine existing industry standards. This vision led to the founding of SALEE - Technology GmbH in 2023 by Hansjörg Oberhollenzer, his son David Oberhollenzer and Christian Feistmantl in Vomp, Tyrol. From the outset, the company's declared aim was to develop a sensible, economical and sustainable alternative to conventional salt spreading for winter service companies.
___
Objective and innovation
___
Based on the principles of sustainability and efficiency, the startup developed a prototype that works in a more resource-saving, efficient and environmentally friendly way by using brine (a salt-water solution) instead of solid road salt. This approach reduces salt consumption by up to 80 %. The device can also be used all year round, as it can be used for green space maintenance and special cleaning in summer.
___
Sustainable advantages
___
The use of brine offers several advantages:
- Sustainability: low environmental impact and CO2-neutral.
- Cost-effectiveness: Savings of up to 80% on gritting agents with the same effect.
- Stable value: Longer effectiveness of the gritting agent.
- Flexibility: Ideal for preventative use.
- Predictability: Calculable costs and rapid amortization.
- Regional production: Promotion of regional economic cycles.

Product development
___
Through careful planning, extensive testing and continuous optimization, SALEE - Technology GmbH developed the SOLEMASTER 3000. This innovative and powerful product represents an environmentally friendly and resource-saving alternative to traditional spreading and has quickly established itself as a leader in the winter maintenance sector.
___
The SOLEMASTER 3000 shows that sustainability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness can be successfully combined to offer a genuine alternative to traditional spreading methods.
