To accommodate the demand for its product lineup, Henry Repeating Arms is expanding its operations with an 84,000-square-foot building on 13.5 acres in Ladysmith, WI. Located less than an hour from the company’s 140,000-square-foot headquarters in Rice Lake, WD, the facility will employ over 100 people within three years in Rusk County.
The property gives the firearms manufacturer a total of 350,000 square feet of manufacturing space with over 600 employees to support its “Made in America, Or Not Made at All” mantra. The facility will initially machine parts for its more than 200 models of rifles and shotguns. The additional Ladysmith acreage allows for further expansion.
“Staking our flag at a new facility is the beginning of another exciting chapter in our company’s history, and we are wasting no time prepping the building for our machines,” said Andy Wickstrom, president, Henry Repeating Arms. Wickstrom continued, “We thank the State of Wisconsin and Rusk County officials for keeping the door open for us, and we look forward to adding members of another great Wisconsin community to our family.”
“We’re excited to see Henry Repeating Arms make a commitment to Ladysmith, WI and Rusk County. They are an employer we are eager to see grow in our community for years to come,” added Andy Albarado, Rusk County Economic Development.
