In this industry, "commitment" is often a buzzword. But when you are dealing with the critical supply chains that power our national defense, commitment needs to be measured in decades, not fiscal quarters.

That is why Supply Energetics is proud to announce we have signed a 30-year lease with the Great Plains Industrial Park in Parsons, Kansas.

This isn't just an expansion; it’s a declaration. We are putting down deep roots in the Midwest to solve one of the most glaring vulnerabilities in the US industrial base: the lack of redundant, scalable nitrocellulose production.

Why Parsons? Why Now?

The Great Plains Industrial Park (formerly the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant) is hallowed ground for American ammunition. It has the infrastructure, the rail access, and the legacy that fits our mission. By securing the 900 campus-including the 904 building as our main operations hub and the 903 site and 1600 magazines for staging-we are reactivating a dormant capability with next-generation technology.

Our Co-Founder, Eliot Pence, put it best: "We're trying to create containerized, modularized mini munitions factories that you can forward deploy."

That vision starts here.

The New Standard for Production

While the location has history, our methods are the future. We aren't just bringing old-school manufacturing back online; we are deploying the innovations we’ve been talking about:

• Stick Built Quick Scale Facility: We will make NC in the traditional method to start, reinvigorating production at the old Kansas Army Ammunition Plant.
• Precursor Independence: Through our R&D efforts, leveraging our "air, water, and sunlight" method to produce nitric acid on-site, eliminating the reliance on fragile foreign supply chains.
• Biomanufacturing: Moving beyond cotton and wood pulp by growing our own cellulose.
• Secondary Source Security: Currently, the US relies heavily on a single facility for nitrocellulose. We are setting up to become the vital secondary source the commercial and military markets desperately need.

Built to Last

Jeff Brothers, our VP of Facilities & Operations, noted during the signing: "This is not a short-term thing. We really want to build a team."

We are ramping up to hire chemists, biologists, and manufacturing experts who understand that safety and precision are paramount. We are building a culture that balances the urgency of our mission with the safety our people deserve.

This 30-year lease is our signal to the market, our partners, and the Department of Wefense: Supply Energetics is here to stay.

We are done talking about the supply chain crisis. We are fixing it—right here in Kansas.
