Henry Repeating Arms Expands Production At Its Rice Lake, Wisconsin, Manufacturing Center
10/28/2013
To date the Wisconsin plant has supplied the Bayonne, New Jersey operation with many components used in all Henry models including receivers, bolts, sights and other internal parts. Henry Repeating Arms purchased the 138,000 sq ft Rice Lake facility in 2006 from Wright Products, a subsidiary of FKI Industries, who manufactured their own line of storm door hardware. Wright also supplied components to other industries including Henry Repeating since 1998.
Wright ceased manufacturing due to price pressure in the hardware industry, causing hundreds of lost jobs. Henry purchased the building and manufacturing equipment and retained 17 experienced employees. Today the company said it employs over 100 people and continues to hire to support its continued growth.
Anthony Imperato, the firm’s President and owner said, "I am proud of what we've accomplished in Wisconsin by saving jobs, adding jobs, and creating a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. I decided to expand our operations here because of the outstanding job our employees do to help us meet increased demand."
Henry Repeating Arms will build and ship in excess of 300,000 rifles in 2013 and employs 300 people in total. Andy Wickstrom, General Manager of both locations said, "Henry's goal is always to manufacture a line of classic, well-crafted firearms that every enthusiast can afford. The passion, expertise, and dedication of our employees in Rice Lake embody the company's motto, 'Made In America Or Not Made At All'. We are very proud to make Wisconsin a more integral part of the Henry Family."
