Expansion Industries Primers

[deltaenterprizes]

I got a run to bring a vehicle back to a customer that had the vehicle serviced and was told that I was going to Texarkana, Texas.
I have been hoping to swing by Hooks, Texas to take a gander at Expansion Industries.
Turns out the guy actually lives in Hooks and when I asked him about Expansion Industries he pointed across the highway from his house and said that they were right there!
All I could see was woods!
I was hoping for guys with little carts with signs saying “primers for sale “ along the road!
Very disappointing!

I think that is pie in the sky.

Expansion and primers are DOA, at least for now, they have laid off workers and cancelled equipment…

shocked, just shocked i tell ya




wonder how many people got took this time

Does anyone know if any dirt has been moved, or cement poured, at their location? Or is it all still in the planning and begging for investors stage ? I hoped that something was actually going to happen with the project, and we would see some product in the near future.

Yep, sounds about like several supposed industries back in MS that were going to be BIG. I mean, big back in the 90s. One stole some millions from small county that had $s to waste. And may have added some from the state development dept too. It got hushed up after about a year.... new primer plant is going up in Arkansas, but output is 100% tied to their ammo production plant close by. Fiocchi

My understanding was that they bought an existing facility and were redoing it.

Not me. They got me last time, not again

I am bummed, I didn't know this and assumed things would get better for the industry.... guess I shouldn't have expected any different than the auto industry here in Michigan....

Many of us were skeptical when "the news broke". It was so obvious it was a scam and to top it off, by a firm known for scamming.

IIRC they needed $100 million.

I wonder how much they pocketed?

[deltaenterprizes]

The report that they would be producing primers in 2 months sounded like pie in the sky!

[ddeck22]

I was disappointed in them as well. They strung people along for years and years. If there was any actual work being done, it probably would have happened by now. I think Fiocchi will have their primer plant in the US up and running before long.

Yep, they ran a powder scam in Richmond, VA a few years ago. I'm not surprised to hear they didn't keep their promises this time, either, but it is still disappointing for sure.

Pretty sure their outlet was nearer Lynchburg VA , not Richmond . Sold good powder cheap for a while, then took a lot of pre-paid orders online and disappeared ! I bought many pounds of ETR powder(still using some !) , wish I'd bought more at $15/lb. but got all mine FTF in their storefront . Guy created many different companies in several states with "Expansion" in the names . Certainly expanded his wallet .

Expansion got new owners a few months ago, at least for the Texas plant, not sure about others.

They are trying to figure things out, let’s see how they land, i still have hope but is far off i do believe for primers…hope i am wrong.

Yes, I believe you're right - Lynchburg rather than Richmond. Sorry about that!

Yup. I have 8lbs or so of their powder which is CB-1 I think. Tight group data and no problem with it. It was the bait and switch price I was disgusted with

Expansion Industries is a joke.


Nothing ever materializes from them but hot air and promises.
