Manufacturer of High-Grade Emulsion Explosives Products
Our Philosophy
Nelson Brothers is more than a manufacturer and distributor of commercial explosives and explosives chemicals. We are a service-oriented team driven by a simple, partnership-based strategy: when you succeed, we succeed.
Our core values begin with care, service, and implicit recognition of your company and its needs as individual and unique. Our people have earned a reputation for being reliable, safety-oriented, passionate, and trusted partners skilled in listening, problem-solving, and innovating. We built this reputation over sixty-years, but we sustain it only if we are successful in meeting or surpassing your goals today.
The values of care and service extend to our product line, too. PowerNel™ emulsions are designed to be the longest-lasting, highest-quality emulsions available. Our expansive, PIBSA-based emulsifier line has become renowned worldwide for being purposely formulated for emulsion explosives and their many unique demands. If our products cannot achieve our customers' desires, we regularly collaborate to custom manufacture something that can.
