History

The competence of the company has been built up during a period of 35 years of focused research and consultancy work within the parent company Christian Michelsen Research (CMR)  which e.g. resulted in the renowned explosion simulator FLACS. GexCon was established as a brand name in 1987, but the gas explosion consultancy activity was formally separated from CMR first in 1998. In 2000 GexCon took over all explosion safety activities from CMR.
