Commercial explosives firm Explomo blazes a trail in the fireworks space

[SINGAPORE] One of the country’s few licensed commercial explosives specialists, Explomo Corporation has been providing bomb disposal services since being founded more than three decades ago.

But beyond defusing explosives, the group also sets off its own. It is building up its fireworks and pyrotechnics business for concerts, following its recent acquisition of its biggest fireworks competitor, Glorious Singapore, for an undisclosed sum.

“The government wants to establish Singapore as a sports and entertainment hub, so this acquisition came at the right time,” chief executive Lim Jun Shan told The Business Times.
