The move is being made possible by a recent expansion and state-of-the-art upgrades to its headquarters in Rice Lake, and expansion into nearby Ladysmith. The company plans to add a third Ladysmith facility in 2025.

Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, said in a press release, “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.”
