The story

Dyno Nobel's history dates back to 1865 with Swedish dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel. The invention of the safety fuse by William Bickford in 1831 was also instrumental in the company's development.

Following IK Partners' (formerly Industri Kapital) public-to-private acquisition of Dyno ASA from the Oslo Stock Exchange in August 2000, Dyno's chemical business was merged with Neste Chemicals to form Dynea Oy, also controlled by IK.

Dyno Nobel ASA combined with the Ensign-Bickford Company in 2003 and were restructured again in 2005. By 2007 they had over 3,500 employees and 36 manufacturing facilities. In 2008 Australian agrochemical maker Incitec Pivot Limited (an ASX Top 50 company) bought Dyno Nobel for A$3.3 billion.

After the coal company Peabody Energy filed for bankruptcy in April 2016, Dyno Nobel was listed as their largest creditor being owed more than A$4.3 million.
