To accommodate the high demand for its growing product lineup, Henry Repeating Arms is expanding its operations with an 84,000-square-foot building on 13.5 acres in Ladysmith, Wis. Located less than an hour away from the company’s 140,000-square-foot headquarters in Rice Lake, Wis., the new facility will employ over 100 people in the Rusk County area within three years.

The new property gives the company 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 be machining parts for the company’s lineup of more than 200 models of rifles and shotguns. The additional Ladysmith acreage also allows for future 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 of Henry Repeating Arms. “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.”
