Propulsion Research & Development
Estes Energetics is reshoring the production of essential chemicals vital to defense and industrial manufacturing. We offer a wide range of critical chemical solutions, including potassium nitrate, barium nitrate, strontium compounds, potassium chlorate and perchlorate, all key to both defense applications and commercial uses such as fireworks and glass strengthening. Our vertically integrated approach ensures a reliable, domestic supply chain, supporting national security and industrial resilience.
Critical Chemicals
In January 2022, Estes Energetics acquired GOEX, the only commercial-scale manufacturer of black powder in the U.S., ensuring the continued production of the renowned GOEX and Olde Eynsford brands. With a legacy spanning over 200 years, GOEX is trusted by recreational shooters, re-enactors, muzzleloading hunters, and fireworks manufacturers, as well as serving critical defense and industrial needs. Estes Energetics is committed to upholding the high standards of American-made black powder while bringing innovation and enhanced safety to the Louisiana-based manufacturing facility.
