Non-Electric Detonator Technology

The basis for today’s Non-Electric detonator grew from the 1960 invention by Per Anders Persson of Nitro Nobel in Gyttorp, Sweden.  Nitro Nobel was Alfred Nobel’s first company.

Today, the world’s mining, quarry and construction blasting requirement consumes hundreds of millions of Non-Electric Detonator’s per year.
