Through the force of innovation
Our technology

Enabling the sustainable industries and societies of tomorrow

Mining, extracting and building are all dependent on explosives and are activities that are crucial to modern life and the sustainability transition that is necessary for a prosperous future.

To succeed in that transition old, carbon- and pollution-intensive practices must change. Unfortunately, today´s nitrate-based explosives have significant environmental impacts.

Though our Swedish heritage of explosives expertise we have developed the world’s first commercially-available explosive platform aimed at solving the many environmental and operational challenges arising from the use of nitrate-based explosives.

Simply put, we change the way mountains are moved, so you can build the sustainable industries and societies of tomorrow.
