Meet the Austin Family

Imagine having a mission, a common purpose so important that it drives and motivates a united workforce to succeed. At Austin Powder, we are a family. We are here for a reason. Our company is a privately held company run by a great family. They have a long-term view of the business and our decisions are driven by our strategies and our values. This has proven to be a successful approach as we leverage the Power of Family with our customers, employees, and other stakeholders. We are guided by our values and the way we do our work matters and will never be compromised.

Chris Proctor, Director of Distributor Accounts

“Superior products and service is only about half of what you’re getting when partnering with Austin Powder. It’s about treating each customer as if they are part of our family fabric as well. It’s being available and looked to as a resource for more than just blasting and product needs. Our company has been around for nearly 200 years and has seen so much, we have a wealth of knowledge and resources within our family that allows us to bring much more to the table than a typical supplier. It’s our attention to detail mindset, big picture thinking, and authenticity that build the foundation to support our lasting relationships.”

“I’ve been with Austin Powder since 1998. I wish more women would look outside the box and see what other opportunities are available out of the norm because it is a great industry and it’s fun.  At no time have I ever been made to feel that I shouldn’t be here or that I’m not welcome in the industry.  It’s been an open arms and a very positive relationship.”
