Creating Value for Our Customers

5/16/2022

Austin Powder in the US recently created a new colored detonating cord in response to a request from a single customer. Our traditional green A Cord was difficult to see once the heading was tied in, so the customer was looking for a brighter cord that would stand out against the rock. Chris Wakefield and his team at Red Diamond came up with the beautiful bright orange cord seen in the picture.

Dan Sterk, Product Manager – Packaged Products/Cast Boosters, said the customer was very pleased with the solution we were able to provide. He  reported, “They were shocked at how well the cord stood out against their rock and had nothing but good things to say about the cord and Austin Powder’s willingness to work with them to achieve their goals.”
