Nitrotol began testing products ten years ago. Since 2019, they have been producing military explosives. For example, they manufacture mines.
Previously, Estonian laws did not allow the inclusion of explosives in explosive materials. This had to be done abroad. Now Nitrotol does it in Estonia.
Nitrotol's products are also used by the Estonian Defense Forces. The company plans to expand production to the Tõstamaa industrial park.
Nitrotol's CEO Jens Haug said: "We purchase raw materials and can ship the products. We don't have to transport semi-finished products across Europe. We competed for the Tõstamaa industrial park and won. We plan to produce more explosives there."
Nitrotol's operations are based on three main aspects: safety, legislation, and technical support. These are very important in peacetime conditions. Therefore, production started in Ämari half a year later.
