Key Developments

Date	Approach	Development
April 2021	Expansion	Austin Powder introduced its explosives production to a new level with the modernization of its HMX plant in Rafaela. Austin can produce a new “Class 5” granulometry product (micronized) required for shock tube manufacturing. Class 5 HMX was developed in Rafaela Plant in partnership with a customer & competitor in the explosives industry.
December 2020	Investment	Austin Powder entered Tanzania by investing in Nitro Explosives and Nitro Logistics (Nitro). Austin partnered with Nitro because the company had to build a business by providing explosives and blasting accessories to the local mining and quarrying industries. The company built a network of magazines covering the country.
