On the 25 th July 2025, EP Power Grit celebrated the official reopening of its production site in Lünen. Guests from all across the German-speaking region came together to explore our newly modernised facility where our latest product is now being manufactured: Asilikos New – a blasting abrasive based on an innovative material blend.

In March 1968, our predecessor Asikos Strahlmittel GmbH launched its new brand Asilikos – a revolutionary alternative to traditional blasting abrasives.

In January 2024, an extensive restoration project kicked off in Bochum (Germany): The double headframe above the German Mining Museum (Deutsches Bergbau-Museum) got a much-needed makeover.

Since January 2025, we have embarked on a major transformation of our production plant in Lünen (Germany), enabling the processing of an environmentally friendly and long-term available material of volcanic origin. This represents the largest single investment since the plant's launch.

The expansion of our production capacities allows us greater flexibility in serving our customers – and it also enhances our independence from power plants that supply us with raw materials.
