Our people are our greatest treasure. We recently honored Terry Newton for 30 years of service with Nelson Brothers.

A respected leader in the Explosives Industry, Terry has been the tip of the spear for both Safety and Human Resources for Nelson Brothers. For over three decades, Terry has helped drive our growth across the company, from our launch into the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, to the expansion of our Specialty Chemicals business in Alabama. Terry is also a leader within the Institute of Makers of Explosives by serving as Chair on the Safety Committee and the Security Committee in advocating for Safety and for a greater national focus on our industry.

It was a special day shared with Terry's colleagues, his wife Kathy, and their son Will. Beyond his work, Terry is a tremendous encourager, a loving husband, and a devoted father.

Thank you for thirty years, Terry!

Sulfonates have long been used in metalworking fluid systems, but they can introduce higher foam, reduced stability, and less control as conditions change.

Nelson Brothers PIBSA-based emulsifiers take a different approach. Engineered specifically for emulsification, they help create cleaner, more stable emulsions with minimal foaming.

The difference isn’t just in the chemistry, it’s visible in the emulsion.
