Do you love your company this much?

Most people leave a job with memories. Some leave with a tattoo.
After 36 years of service, Russell retired from Austin Powder with countless stories, lifelong friendships, and a permanent Austin Powder tattoo on an upper arm.

That kind of commitment can't be manufactured. It's earned through years of hard work, shared successes, and being part of something bigger than yourself.

Thank you, Russell, for 36 years of dedication. Your Austin legacy will last a lifetime.

Advancing Safety Through Automated Manufacturing

The team at Red Diamond, Ohio, successfully commissioned its automated booster production facility. This milestone represents years of development, collaboration, and commitment from teams across the organization.

Designed as an automated, remotely operated process, the new manufacturing system enhances safety by allowing personnel to remain hundreds of feet away during operation while maintaining full process control. The achievement reflects Austin Powder's continued focus on advancing manufacturing capabilities, improving safety, and reducing environmental impact.

"This achievement has brought together teams from across the business around a shared objective," said Evan Hagenlock, Product Manager. "The collaboration that got us here will remain critical as we move toward full commercialization."

Did You Know? Automation is a major part of Austin Powder’s strategy, both in manufacturing and in blasting operations.

Automation is transforming the future of blasting.

Austin Powder is investing in robotics, predictive software, smart MMUs, electronic initiation systems, and automated manufacturing technologies to improve safety, consistency, and operational performance.

By connecting blast design, charging, initiation, and performance data, we're helping customers achieve more predictable and data-driven results.

Decoupling growth from impact

In 2025, Austin Powder expanded absolute production across major product lines while systematically contracting resource and risk intensity — emissions intensity per unit improved by 6%, total water consumption fell by 9%, total waste generation decreased by 7.6%, and TRIR decreased to 1.26. These results reflect targeted operational efficiency, emissions capture at site level, waste redesign and investments in automation and safety systems — concrete actions with measurable outcomes.
