Henry Repeating Arms announced a firm commitment to establishing 100 percent of its manufacturing operations in the state of Wisconsin early last week. The company’s Bayonne, NJ, manufacturing operations will move to its newly expanded state-of-the-art headquarters in Rice Lake, WI, and two additional facilities in nearby Ladysmith, WI. The company is also closing on a third Ladysmith facility in mid-summer 2025.
The strategic transition accommodates the need for increased production capacity and better supports the company’s future growth. Planting its flag firmly in the state of Wisconsin also solidifies Henry Repeating Arms’ commitment to American craftsmanship in the heart of the Midwest and underscores the company’s relentless pursuit of enhancing the quality of its offerings. .
“We are putting all of our eggs in one basket, the Wisconsin basket, because it makes us more efficient, more productive, and allows for more collaboration amongst our design and engineering teams, all while sustaining and enhancing Henry’s solid reputation for quality,” said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “With about 400,000 square feet of cutting-edge manufacturing operations in four facilities within minutes of each other, Henry Repeating Arms is well positioned for its next chapter.”
“This transition allows us to double down on what we do best—making world-class rifles, shotguns and revolvers right here in the heart of America,” said Andrew Wickstrom, president of Henry Repeating Arms. “Our Wisconsin operations have been essential to our success for a long time, and now it is the cornerstone of our bright future.”
Henry Repeating Arms has played a principal role in the increased consumer demand for American-made lever action rifles, a platform to which the company has been committed since its founding. As the company introduces new, innovative lever-action rifles and expands into other segments, its increased capacity in Wisconsin accelerates speed to market, streamlines distribution, and enhances quality control to effectively meet the needs firearm enthusiasts, competitors, hunters and collectors.
