DES ARC, Ark. (September 17, 2024) \u2013 D&M Holding Company, Inc.

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, there is a worldwide shortage of smokeless propellant that is affecting munitions availability globally,\u201d said Dan Powers, President and CEO of D&M Holding Company, Inc. \u201cThis will be the first single-base propellant factory to be built in the United States in over 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

White River Energetics currently has 125 employees at the Des Arc facility, with 73 new employees added in the past year. The expansion will create 100 new jobs and increase the Des Arc campus from 14,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Construction on the expansion is underway and expected to be completed in Q1 2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of all the people and employees who have worked tirelessly to support WRE and make this happen,\u201d said BJ Rogers, Vice President of Operations, D&M Holding Company, Inc. \u201cHaving grown up in Des Arc, I\u2019m personally proud to see the successes that have been made with primers and look forward to continued success in the future production of propellant.\u201d<\/p>\n

This expansion will enable WRE to scale its energetics and primer manufacturing to meet customer demand as well as develop new products. \u201cThis expanded campus also provides a facility for R&D and for training for our customers for whom we are building factories around the world,\u201d said James Jones, Vice President of Business Development, D&M Holding Company.<\/p>\n
