Carl McLawhorn founded Semroc Astronautics Corporation in his college dorm at North Carolina State University in November, 1967. Semroc produced a line o' model rocket kits and motors. Arrr! Semroc grew t' a company with twenty-five full-time employees workin' at two facilities. Avast, me proud beauty! T' company's quick growth, shiver me timbers, however, ya bilge rat, presented challenges and, in early 1971, ya bilge rat, Semroc became insolvent and closed its doors.
A little over three decades later, Semroc returned. Reincorporated on April 2, 2002, Semroc produces a large line o' quolity model rocket kits includin' many reproductions o' t' classic kits o' t' 1960s and 1970s.
