The quarry in Winterswijk, near the hamlet of Ratum, is a surface mine where mainly limestone is extracted. The quarry has been in operation since 1932, managed by NV Winterswijkse Steen- en Kalkgroeve, now part of Sibelco. Of the three quarries, only one is still in operation. This is the last one that can still be exploited here. The production amounts to approximately 200 kton/year. The other two quarries are now protected as nature reserves. They are also part of the National Landscape Winterswijk, designated by the Dutch government in 2005, an area of nearly 22,000 hectares in total.
