lloyd Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 The Lord has blessed our little business (and us!). With NO negotiations or other folderol, we have been mightily blessed with nearly $15K of new short-term contracts in just the last month! Yippee! Lloyd 1
MadMat Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Wow! It's always nice to hear when a smaller sized business gets some good luck. Congratulations.

usapyro Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Nice! Lloyd do any custom fireworks, or is it not practical licensing wise to manufacture in the US?
lloyd Posted June 30, 2017 Author Posted June 30, 2017 I'm licensed to make any fireworks, and have room to test, also. If by "custom fireworks", you mean making small quantities of a 'new design' for customers, I could, but that's problematic from two perspectives. 1) They're quite expensive. Unless you're going into 'full production' on an item, small quantities are objectionably pricey.2) Every fireworks item made commercially must bear an unique USDOT EX number, issued to the manufacturer for that particular effect, before it may be transported over public roads. To obtain an EX number takes a minimum of a full year, and often as much as two years for DOT to 'get around' to reviewing the application (and usually denying it once or twice for invalid reasons). Since I'm approaching 70, what I do mostly, now, is consultancy... new designs and formulations, EX # work, chemical research, and custom tools for manufacture. That keeps me busy enough! Lloyd 1
