About us
COSMOS BLASTING is a leading provider of technology and services. We offer engineering solutions in the field of explosives and blasting.
Our history
It all started on the afternoon of June 21, 2013, after a day of work in the gold mines of Cajamarca, Peru, when our founder, Romel Villanueva, managed to measure detonation pressure with equipment he had built himself.
- In 2015 we developed QUANTUM, a thermodynamic code to determine the energy of explosives.
- In 2017 we invented DDT, a method and device to measure the density of the explosive inside the borehole.
- In 2019 we developed the first blasting software in South America: PIRKAP and FAMEWARE.
- In 2023 we developed VORTEX, an instrument to detect the timing sequence of a blast.

Since then we have kept creating technical solutions, in measuring instruments and software, that have helped improve blasting processes and the manufacture of explosives for civil use.
