A DYNO NOBEL DISTRIBUTOR SERVICES PRODUCTS ABOUT CAREERS CONTACT ABOUT US Learn about Alpha Explosives, our community, and the greater industry at large. A Long History Incorporated on August 17, 1906, Alpha Powder Company dba Alpha Explosives was the Hercules distributorship that served the gold mines and quarries, as well as many dam and highway projects in Northern California for 80 years. With the closing of large mines and reductions in public works projects, the volume of business shrank. Alpha’s assets were purchased by Falconi Construction, Inc. in 1983. The owners, John P. Falconi, William J. Falconi, and Brad Langner, entered into agreements with other explosives manufacturers to distribute their explosive products. Alpha felt emulsions were the technology of the future, and that IRECO had the best emulsion products. Alpha aggressively marketed emulsion, and had a strong relationship with IRECO when IRECO acquired the Hercules Explosives business.
