Nixon Nitration Works


Nixon Nitration Works was a chemical company located in both Woodbridge and the Nixon section of Edison, New Jersey that performed nitration chemistry. It was the site of the 1924 Nixon Nitration Works disaster, a massive explosion and resulting fire that killed twenty people and destroyed several square miles of the township.

The company is mentioned in "Band of Brothers," Episode 10, when Capt. Lewis Nixon offers Maj. Richard Winters a job there after the war.
