MINDEN, La., Jan. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Estes Energetics (https://estesenergetics.com/) is pleased to announce the acquisition of GOEX from Hodgdon Powder Company. This last remaining commercial scale black powder factory in the United States produces GOEX and Olde Eynsford brands of black powder, which are highly regarded by competitive and recreational shooters, re-enactors, and muzzleloading hunters, as well as fireworks manufacturers. GOEX black powder also propels the model rocket motors of sister company Estes Industries, the leading model rocket brand, and supports the needs of the U.S. Military.

The acquisition of GOEX was completed in January 2022. "We are extremely excited to extend the relationship with our loyal customers as we ramp up production to satisfy pent up demand later this year," said Karl Kulling, CEO of Estes Energetics.

That's very good news. I have plenty of holy black set aside, but it is nice to know that I don't have to ration it.

But instead of granulation sizes, you get to select which size toy rocket motor you need...

Somewhere I saw a mention that they plan to be supplying product by 2023, which leads me to wonder/hope if they are going to make serious production and safety changes at the Minden plant.

Darn, I've used their model rocket engines for decades. Didn't know they made full size engines.

Now that is the kind of smoke I prefer. Glad it is coming back.

From what I've read the plant is undergoing a complete upgrade, which is one reason for the one year delay. Better to proceed with caution than to be back like it was. I read once the old plant had been blown up like maybe 7 times?
