ProMag Industries, producer of firearm magazines and gun accessories has officially left California after the new magazine restrictions were introduced this year.
ProMag Industries employed over 200 employees in their South Gate, California facility, forced out after 25 years because they are no longer able to sell their own products from California.
Over 150 tons of equipment on over 40 over-sized trucks shipped to the new 90,000 square foot factory in west Phoenix. All products will be made in house, by the new team in Arizona. Only a small handful of California employees were selected to move to Arizona for the restructure. The new team now includes hand-picked hires from all-over the US, including product designers, quality control experts and a solid assembly staff. The new operation is now running at 100%, nine months after the move.
“Our move to Phoenix was an opportunity to start from scratch.” said ProMag General Manager, Mike Kurvink. “Trying to keep up with the demand for our products during the hi-capacity magazine panic lead to many quality issues. Im pleased to announce that we have had the opportunity to correct these problems, not only in our manufacturing process, but also by making a commitment to quality from the shop floor, to the boardroom.
We take what we do very seriously; we are not making pez dispensers. We are committed to making magazines our customers can depend on, said Kurvink.
