Your Partner for Energetic Materials.
Unmatched Expertise. Proven Solution.
Widely acknowledged for its high level of expertise and know-how in chemical synthesis
and transformation of energetic molecules, EURENCO develops, manufactures and

Industry
A leading European company for military explosives, propellants and combustible items,
EURENCO also provides explosives for the civil sector (oil & gas perforation, mining),
and owns the world’s largest production capacity for 2-EHN (diesel fuel additive).
Laboratories, pilot workshops, multi-purpose units and large scale facilities, all
contribute to strengthening EURENCO’s R&D and manufacturing capabilities,
allowing small scale to mass production.
A favored partner of major companies worldwide, EURENCO aims to constantly enhance
its flexibility and reactivity to provide a tailor-made service for common success.
Created in January 2004 from the merger between SNPE Explosives & Propellants,
NEXPLO Bofors and NEXPLO Vihtavuori, EURENCO inherited its parents’ centuries of
in-depth knowledge of energetic materials.
Based in Paris •, EURENCO operates 5 modern production plants in France (Bergerac •,
Sorgues •), Belgium (Clermont •), Finland (Vihtavuori •) and Sweden (Karlskoga •).
EURENCO is also present in the United States, through a commercial office in
Washington DC • (for explosives, propellants and combustible items) and a distribution
company in Houston • (for fuel additives).
In order to meet the strong market demand, EURENCO also runs a number of storage
facilities worldwide, among which one of the largest storage parks in continental
Europe for pyrotechnics.
