That may be a bold statement but when you think about it, anything that starts as raw material mined from our great land was made accessible due to explosives providing the energy to break it free.
And that’s just the beginning because Austin Powder also helped clear the paths that helped our country grow—building canals, railroads and highways, and providing coal energy. We’ve been manufacturing explosives since 1833 and we take great pride in playing a major role in America’s development. And because of our growth, we are even more relevant today than we were in 1833.
