Up until very recently, GOEX was the ONLY brand of BP available in the U.S. It is made by the people who used to make DuPont BP. When DuPont decided to get out of the powder business, the employees of their BP plant bought it to remain in business. The plant has subsequently been moved from Moosic, PA., where it had been for a century or so. I think it is in ARK. now.

I have never used the Swiss powder, I hear it is about the best. But there' s nothing wrong with GOEX!!
