Goex is a proud American business with a rich history.
We manufacture black powder used for sporting applications such as civil war re-enactments and flint lock firearms, and is a vital component for industrial and military applications. It remains as the only U.S. manufacturer of black powder.
GOEX has over a 220 year history of black powder manufacturing in the United States and Goex intends to be a good steward of this company’s history and tradition.
In 1802, E.I. Du Pont de Nemours broke ground on his original black powder plant along the Brandywine River in Delaware. To meet the growing demand for black powder, E.I. Du Pont de Nemours began construction on the Belin Plant in Pennsylvania and produced the first batches of black powder in 1912. The Belin Plant supplied military black powder during World War I, World war II, and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
In the early 1970’s, the Belin Plant became a part of Goex. Goex continued to supply black powder for Military and Industry and for a growing Sporting interest. In 1997, Goex moved to Minden, Louisiana to continue the tradition of manufacturing fine quality black powder.
In 2022 Goex was bought by Estes Energetics and became Goex Industries, LLC.
