Novadel-Agene

Novadel-Agene was a Belleville, New Jersey based company formed from the merger of Novadel Process Corporation and Agene Process in August 1928. Novadel Corporation was founded in 1926 to take over the American and Canadian rights to Novadel Process. Novadelox was first used in the bleaching of flour in the United States in 1921. Prior to this it had been used largely in European milling.

On 23 September 1953, one of its plants, in Tonawanda, New York, United States, exploded and caused 11 deaths.
