Sedalia Dave Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Gun maker Remington moving to Georgia from NY in $100 million deal Quote Gun maker Remington Firearms will move its headquarters from Ilion, New York, to Georgia, with plans to open a factory and research operation there. The company announced Monday that it would invest $100 million in the operation in LaGrange, Georgia, southwest of Atlanta, hiring more than 800 people over five years. It was not immediately clear what effect the transfer would have on Remington's operations in New York and Tennessee. The company owns the parts of the former Remington Outdoor Co. which make rifles, shotguns and some handguns after the former parent auctioned its assets in pieces last year during a bankruptcy proceedingin Alabama.

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I wish them the best . Who can blame any company for pulling out of New York or Kalifornia. Just don't take any Democ-Rat Politics with them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 I don't blame them but the Ilion New York factory has been making firearms under the Remington name since 1816. Likely the oldest continuously operated factory in the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 This article was somewhat informative, but the writers’ bias and ignorance of guns, the gun industry, and gun history was really evident!! My opinion is that the gun makers in the Northeast should all make their respective getaways and let those unfriendly state governments rot!! Sorry for those that are losing their jobs! Those who would respect our ways here in the Southern states are welcome to come on down and join us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
