The country's only black powder plant operator is expanding its footprint in northwest Louisiana, with a little help from the Army.
Goex Industries this week received a $8,617,813 firm-fixed-price contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for facility modernization at the Louisiana National Guard’s Camp Minden. Goex in April committed to a $7.2 million investment in Camp Minden, formerly the home of the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, to lease and improve a 30,000-square-foot building owned by the state that has been vacant for more than a decade.
The Camp Minden facility, once Goex is in full swing, will manufacture potassium nitrate, barium nitrate, strontium nitrate, strontium oxalate, strontium peroxide, potassium chlorate, potassium perchlorate, and potassium sulfate-- vital compounds used in defense and other industries.
The building, located within Camp Minden's 15,000-acre compound, has been vacant for over a decade. Goex is setting up a plant
there to produce a host of nitrates used in a wide range of industrial processes for defense and other industries.
