D&Z Partners With Battelle, EURENCO to Compete for Army’s Holsten Ammunition Plant Contract

Day & Zimmerman, Battelle Memorial Institute and European energetic materials manufacturer EURENCO have partnered to pursue an opportunity with the U.S. Army to manage a Kingsport, Tennessee-based ammunition facility.
