Austin Powder Australia and Austin Powder Africa have reached further milestones in expanding into new markets. The Austin Powder specialists from Vsetín have been participating in their success.
Oceania
Austin Powder Australia (APAU) has successfully entered a new market by establishing local technical support and shipping Shock*Star products to Papua New Guinea, marking a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion. This achievement follows over two years of work and planning, overcoming challenges related to export and import licenses, storage facility audits, and regulatory compliance in a post-COVID environment; the APAU team collaborated closely with local authorities and colleagues at Austin Detonator to secure necessary approvals and export permits.
The successful entry into the Papua New Guinea market is another step in APAU’s commitment to global growth and innovation.
Africa
Austin Powder Africa has successfully delivered Shock*Star detonators to Ghana for the first time, a milestone facilitated by West African representative Mohammed Elgharraz and the Austin Detonator team. This achievement marks Ghana as a gateway for Austin Powder’s expansion in Western Africa. Elgharraz’s expertise and the team’s commitment ensured the delivery met all safety and quality standards.
After two weeks, a shipment of 120,000 detonators arrived at Tema port with positive customer feedback. Two additional shipments, totaling 215,000 detonators, are set for delivery by late September. This milestone underscores Austin Powder’s strategic growth in the African region.
