This is about the 3rd time a closing has occured in the past five years. One time a few years ago, a Goexplant there blew up& had to be completely rebuilt -- with no shortage of Goex driving the price up.

Supposedly, there is a plant that is used to start-up the main plant. It is used as a troubleshooter to avoid employee injuried/deaths. I wonder ifthis fire was there?????

They are down and back up all of the time it seems.
Until they moved several years ago, their plant was in my area.
It seemed they had a 1-3 day close down every couple of months and a bigger one from fire or a blast every few years.

I'd say no worries.

Really sorry to hear that, sure hope that nobody was injured.

WhenI shoot traditional black, it's Swiss so the Goex issue does not affect me.

Here is a link. I do not think we have to worry because the Goex plant has exploded and burned before and it was not a real big deal. It should be up and running by December.
