Repkon USA Awarded US Army Contract for Kentucky TNT Facility

Tampa, Florida – Repkon USA has been awarded a contract by the United States Army, valued at $435M, for the construction and operation of the first U.S. domestic facility to produce Trinitrotoluene (TNT) in the United States since the 1980’s. TNT is a critical explosive for items ranging from 155mm artillery rounds to aircraft bombs for the Air Force. Repkon USA will rapidly construct the facility at its commercial site in Kentucky using state of the art technology, maximizing the use of automation and digitization, and implementing a novel waste neutralization process. The facility will be constructed and operational in less than 36 months. This award, funded in part by the 2024 Ukraine Supplemental, secures the DOD’s munitions supply from a domestic source for decades to come.
