Remington Begins Construction on New Ammo Plant in Arkansas
In a move that should make gun owners across the nation happy, Remington just broke ground on their newest ammo plant in Lonoke, Arkansas. This comes at a time where ammunition is scarce and prices are high.
The facility is expected to employ 50 to 100 people when it�s up and running, and should have the space and tooling to manufacture something to the tune of 2 to 3 billion rounds of ammo a year.
If construction goes according to schedule, the facility will be up and running in June of 2014. It will have 35,000 square-feet of floor space and cost Remington $32 million to complete.
�We continue to invest in all of our manufacturing operations because we are committed to ensuring quality, increasing product availability and improving on-time delivery,� said Kevin Miniard, Remington COO. �This significant investment in Lonoke is a testament to that commitment. Our customers can count on Remington to invest in its manufacturing operations in order to ensure that its facilities are state-of-the art and its employees are the best in the industry.�
Heh - Remington's corporate headquarters is in North Carolina, a gun friendly state but part of it's firearm production is in New York state -- decidedly un-gun friendly. Nice to see they are expanding to places where they are wanted. Good jobs and no lack of work...
