D&M Holding Company highlighting propellant manufacturing capabilities

D&M Holding Company, Inc. (D&M), the global leader in delivering complete solutions for ammunition, primer, and propellant manufacturing facilities, and the Ukrainian Defense Industry Joint Stock Company (JSC) recently announced a partnership to produce specialty chemicals in the United States to address the critical shortage of propellant used in the production of ammunition for the Ukrainian defense forces. Prior to this project, D&M built a multi-million-dollar ammunition facility in Ukraine for the Ukraine Defense Industry and has several other projects in the works there, including a primer facility.

“The need for reliable supplies of powder and ammunition is soaring globally as a matter of national security for nations throughout the world,” says Dan Powers, President and CEO, D&M Holding Company. “At D&M, we are working nonstop to support the US, NATO countries, and other friendly foreign governments. We are the only company in the industry that offers solutions for all ammunition components including ammunition factories, primer factories, and propellant factories, and this is one of many advantages we bring to the table.”

In addition to building its own gunpowder plant at its White River Energetics campus in Arkansas, D&M will build turnkey propellant factories for clients to manufacture single base and double base powder for everything from small-caliber ammunition to artillery.

D&M’s goal is to continually innovate, helping clients operate more efficiently and grow. Companies and countries that have never been in the propellant, ammunition, or primer business before can rely on D&M’s team to handle all aspects of the project from site planning and floor planning to equipment manufacture and installation, in addition to the transfer of knowledge. D&M offers intensive training to its clients and 24/7 support.

“If we can’t fix a problem over the phone, we are on a plane to travel to our customers to assist,” says James Jones, Executive Vice President, D&M Holding Company, Inc. “And as we innovate, we offer our clients affordable upgrades down the road without them having to buy new machines. This is an important aspect of supporting their growth.”

D&M has built ammunition factories and delivered equipment in the United States, South America, and Ukraine with more in the works globally, including plans to build plants in Canada to produce nitrocellulose and propellant. D&M is also currently building a single base powder plant for a Southeastern European country with other projects in process.

D&M and its White River Energetics business support domestic and international clients in the defense and sporting markets.
