THE GOEX STORY
GOEX is a proud American business with a rich history.
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.
Today, GOEX manufactures 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 200 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.
I don't think the Goex powder was sold to Hodgdon. Think it was sold to an cross the east pond Firm.
No, it was an investment firm in NYC. I visited there some 20+ years ago. They were offering the Moosic plant to the Germans for sale. I can't remember their name. Pengo Industries took over the factory around 1977, went bankrupt and these New Yorkers bought it and sold off most of it except for the powder mill. In 2009 they sold it to Hodgdon Powder Co. and they sold it to Estes Energetics in 2022.
That's because GOEX was it's own entity,, not a subsidiary of another corp.
GOEX was GOEX,,
It became a subsidiary of Hodgdon.
It still is GOEX, but now it's a subsidiary of Estes

Geez $ 32 per lb. would be double what i paid for my last lb. i bought. Looking at the power/velocity it has less than Schuetzen, at $32 a lb. i would pass. Just keep buying my Graf's 3 F.
