GOEX sold?

[Gun Tramp]

Just saw this in the "about us" section of the Hodgdon website:

"Located in Minden, Louisiana, GOEX Powder, Inc. is the only U.S. manufacturer of black powder. Hodgdon then sold the GOEX plant and brand in 2021."

To whom?

I just put in an inquiry on the website. We'll see if they answer.

 

[Stone]

Even though there aren't millions of us who want the stuff, surely to God, they understand the demand?

Yep, there it is:

Yes, but to whom?

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Wasn’t me.

LOL

I find it difficult to believe- with Muzzleloaders, Cannons, Fireworks maybe or other reasons…

A business like Goex will provide revenue and profit … Someone will pick it up and begin production again.

I am a Optimist tho

it might take a while to re-license everything depending upon who
bought it. Must have sold in December and not announced yet
officially. Anyone's guess-- but German Wano or Dupont?
Will the prices stay the same?

 

[Africa58double]

Sold- Is music to most ears

I’d bet , prices will not remain same… slight increase. Yet I’m sure 10-15% is not really that big of a deal

 

[Omahkapi'si]

I’m betting ACME Corporation.

 

[rafterob]

Potentially good news. Under current market situations a price increase would be anticipated.

 

[Blackpowderwarrior]

I would assume wano. They did seem interested .....

 

[Siringo]

APP perhaps

 

[Africa58double]

Who is not the question… When is the question.

When, Purchase is finalized is closer to when we will result in -when…. We see more powder.

And that’s when… we are all happier

The new Goex / Acme Catalog!

 

[Andrewmtnman]

Now that’s funny! Is it true the us government is Goex’s biggest customer?

 

[Captndan]

I really was going to buy Goex but I didn't win the PowerBall.

I sure hope they don't just shutter/bulldoze/make condos out of any GOEX facilities. Having just one place in the world making black powder, and off shore, is very daunting to the thousands of black powder hunters, target shooters, reenactors that use it constantly over the years. ANY businessman would see this as a wide open market.
