NobelClad Celebrates Expansion of Its Dunbar Mine in Collaboration With U.S. Navy and Partner Organizations
May 29 2025 - 4:00PM
NobelClad, a business of DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM), welcomed
representatives from the U.S. Navy, Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base
Program, BlueForge Alliance, and the U.S. Government to celebrate
the expansion of its Dunbar Mine — the site of NobelClad’s
proprietary explosive welding operations. As a long-standing
strategic customer, the U.S. Navy played a key role in funding the
project.
“The strong partnership we enjoy with the U.S.
Navy enabled the successful completion of the first phase of this
expansion,” said Antoine Nobili, President of NobelClad.
“We sincerely appreciate the financial and
strategic support we are receiving for both phases of the project,
which will strengthen NobelClad’s role as a key supplier to the
Navy and help ensure the fleet’s readiness for years to come,” said
Chad Toth, General Manager US, Director of Global Operations
Excellence of NobelClad.
Located in southwest Pennsylvania, the Dunbar
Mine has served as NobelClad’s U.S. explosive cladding site for
over 50 years. It remains the only facility in the United States
with the structural integrity and capacity to support the
controlled detonations required by NobelClad’s metal cladding
process. The surrounding Loyalhanna limestone formation safely
absorbs and dissipates the energy from the explosions, enabling
NobelClad to meet the demanding production requirements of the Navy
and other industrial customers.
NobelClad designs and manufactures innovative
clad metal products for a wide range of global industries. Its
engineered clad plates are used in equipment deployed across two
classes of U.S. Navy submarines, as well as in ships and aircraft
carriers.
Construction of Phase One of the Dunbar Mine
expansion began in June 2024 and was completed in April 2025. This
phase added nearly 600 linear feet of production and transport
space. Phase Two, set to begin in the coming weeks, will add an
additional 435 linear feet to the facility.
The celebration provided guests with a
first-hand look at the expanded mine and included attendance by
senior leadership from the U.S. Navy, the Maritime Industrial Base
Program and BlueForge Alliance.
