Nov 8, 2024, 08:58 PM
The U.S. Army has awarded a $435 million contract to RepkonUSA – Defense LLC to establish a TNT production facility in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. This marks a significant development as there has been no domestic TNT production in the United States for decades, with the military currently reliant on imports from countries such as India and Australia. The announcement was made following a live event led by Senator Mitch McConnell, highlighting the importance of reestablishing domestic ammunition production capabilities. The facility aims to produce TNT at scale, addressing critical needs within the U.S. ammunition industrial base.
