The Lichtenstein quarry is used by 2 gypsum companies: "Rigips Saint-Gobain" and "Casea (a company of the Remondis Group)".
The raw gypsum stone mined here is geologically assigned to the main anhydrite. The gypsum is ideal for the production of construction and plaster plaster.
The quarry was opened in 1952.
