Remington filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2020. Its assets were divided and sold off to other companies. Remington Arms, a new company, licensed Remington’s assets from the buyer. Remington Arms recently announced that it was relocating its operations to Georgia. The United Mine Workers were disappointed with the decision while Republicans pointed to Democrat policies as the cause.<\/p>\n

On July 28, 2020, Remington filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company’s assets, including iconic brands like Bushmaster, DPMS, and Harrington & Richardson, were divided and sold off. Vista Outdoor purchased the Remington brand name and licensed it to the new company, Remington Arms. Although the new RemArms, LLC announced plans to relocate its headquarters and open new manufacturing facilities in Georgia, the Ilion Facility continued to employ about 270 workers.<\/p>\n

On November 30, 2023, RemArms sent a letter to the plant’s union, United Mine Workers of America, informing them of the scheduled closure of the Ilion Facility. “I am writing to inform you that RemArms, LLC has decided to close its entire operations at 14 Hoefler Avenue, Ilion, NY 13357,” the letter read. “The Company expects that operations at the Ilion Facility will conclude on or about March 4, 2024. The Company did not arrive at this decision lightly.”<\/p>\n

The International President of United Mine Workers released a statement calling the closure “extremely disappointing” and the holiday announcement “a slap in the face.” Local officials also lamented the shuttering of the Ilion Facility, highlighting the loss of revenue for the area and the displacement of local workers, some of whom are legacy Remington employees.<\/p>\n

A joint statement by local and state Republicans also expressed goals to assist employees facing the coming layoffs while decrying New York’s regulations and taxes which, they say, continue to force businesses and companies to leave the state. “It is because of New York Democrats’ unconstitutional gun grab policies that the oldest gun manufacturer in the country has been run out of the state,” Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) said in her own statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
