Nelson Brothers

Born in 1956 as a family‑owned explosives manufacturer, the company has evolved into a global provider of blasting solutions.

Its flagship PowerNel™ emulsion has moved billions of pounds of product, fueling major mining and aggregate operations.

Behind the scenes, a specialty chemicals division crafts emulsifiers and industrial additives for clients in 30+ countries.

The firm blends traditional blasting services with modern tools—electronic detonation and even drone‑based mining inspection.

Typical projects span open‑pit mines, quarry blasting, toll‑manufactured chemical blends and site‑specific engineering work.

A lesser‑known fact: their in‑house tech team develops apps for blast timing, GPS tools and mobile SDS access.

Their career path often begins on the plant floor, where long‑service employees climb into leadership over decades.

Stability. Continuity. Family. Future.

Executive leadership reflects a focus on continuity and benefit to extended family, including team members and customers
