Remington Firearms Plans LaGrange, Georgia, Global Headquarters-Manufacturing Complex
11/15/2021
Several of the company’s strategic products will be manufactured in Georgia. The new headquarters will also become home to an innovative research and development center.
"We are very excited to come to Georgia, a state that not only welcomes business but enthusiastically supports and welcomes companies in the firearms industry," said Ken D’Arcy, RemArms CEO. "Between the support we’ve received from the state and from Scott Malone and Kelley Bush of the City of LaGrange Economic Development Authority, we cannot wait to expand our company in Georgia. Everyone involved in this process has shown how important business is to the state and how welcoming they are to all businesses, including the firearms industry."
Founded in 1816, Remington Firearms is one of the United States’ largest domestic producers of shotguns and rifles.
"Georgia's firearms industry is responsible for thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of investment in our communities," said Governor Brian P. Kemp. "I am a proud owner of some of Remington's first-class product, and now, I am excited to welcome them to their new home in the Peach State. As yet another big manufacturing win for our state, I look forward to seeing the oldest firearms manufacturer in America thrive in Georgia's pro-business environment."
The Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) was represented in this project by Senior Project Manager Taylor Kielty in partnership with the LaGrange Economic Development Authority, Georgia Power, and Georgia Quick Start.
"For more than two centuries, Remington Arms has been a part of the fabric of our country, and for many of us who grew up with a strong connection to the outdoors and a love of outdoor sports, a trusted brand like Remington has been interwoven into our lives," said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. "This makes it all the more exciting for us to see Remington Firearms locate their global headquarters and advanced manufacturing operations in Georgia where they will join a strong community of great companies who call this state home. Many thanks to our economic development partners in Troup County for helping the state win this project, which will undoubtedly have a sizeable economic impact on LaGrange and surrounding communities."
