Remington Returns: The Revival Of An Ammunition Giant

  • Remington Ammunition filed for bankruptcy in July 2020, amid one of the hottest markets for ammunition makers in recent memory. The bankruptcy filing presaged the ultimate collapse of Remington Outdoor in September of that same year, and the assets of that conglomerate were auctioned off to the highest bidders. Ultimately, Vista Outdoor, owner of Federal Ammunition, CCI and Speer, purchased the assets of Remington Ammunition and got to work returning the plant to its former glory. Watch the American Rifleman Television segment above to learn about Remington's redemption.
    "This is one of the largest ammunition manufacturing plants in the world. It's Remington Ammunition in Lonoke, Ark.," said Mark Keefe, NRA Publications editorial director. "It was set up in 1969 by DuPont, who owned Remington at the time. They do it all here. Cases, bullets, centerfire rifle, centerfire pistol, rimfire and shotshell. This is really one of the great manufacturing successes in the United States. Up until 2020. Bad leadership [and] bad financial decisions resulted in the employees here getting a notice saying, 'Company's bankrupt, we're going to be sold, we don't know if you're going to have a job.' At that point, Vista Outdoor stepped in and bought this plant. They're ammo people. That's all they do. And this is the story of Remington reloaded."
    The Remington Ammunition plant was constructed in 1969, and over the course of several years, machinery, materials and manpower shifted from the company's original facility in Bridgeport, Conn., to the new building in Lonoke, Ark. DuPont, the owners of Remington Ammunition during the shift to Arkansas, sold the company to an investment group, RACI Acquisitions, and changes came to the facility. In 2007, the company was purchased by Cerberus Capital Management, and in 2010, it became part of the Freedom Group of companies. After a 2018 bankruptcy filing, the company continued to struggle, and the collapse of Remington Outdoor Company in 2020 provided an opportunity for its acquisition by Vista.
    "We bought Remington because it is literally once in a generation that you might have this opportunity to buy such an iconic brand," said Jason Vanderbrink, president of ammunition, Vista Outdoor. "I mean, [a] 205-year-old American manufacturing ammunition business, that is so complementary to Federal, CCI and Speer. We viewed this acquisition as a must-have acquisition."
    Once Vista Outdoor took over management of Remington Ammunition, it began by bringing back furloughed workers. Supply shortages eased with Vista's supply network, and manufacturing lines roared to life once again.
    "For the first time, it feels like we work for people, from our direct management all the way to the top, that understand ammunition, that want to make ammunition and want to make good ammunition," said Jimmy Lawrence, ballistics engineer, Remington Ammunition. "Ultimately, any business is in the industry to make money, but that should be, in my opinion, second to product safety, product innovation and product quality. I believe we're now in the hands of a company that genuinely believes ammo should be good ammo or it shouldn't be on the shelf."
    Over the first 18 months of Vista's ownership of Remington Ammunition, the facility added more than 1,500 new employees. The ammunition giant announced that, at that time, it had increased centerfire-handgun ammunition production more than 40 percent, while shotshell production increased 15 percent. Additionally, the company added "millions" of new primers to the market.
    "We know what the capacity is, we know where we're at today. Every day gets better, so every day, we make more ammunition than the previous day," Vanderbrink said. "But when we first turned the lights on, there wasn't much ammo being made. When the shift was over and the lights went off, it was sad to see. I can tell you that Big Green is roaring. The workforce is behind us, they're behind us 100 percent. The state's behind us. The Vista umbrella, right now, is really excited for things to come out of Lonoke, Ark."

    As someone who both grew up with firearms and knows the Remington name, as well as someone who once lost a manufacturing job, thank you all very VERY much to everyone involved for bringing back Remington. I don't mean to be dramatic, but I really did tear up a bit seeing this. P.s. Just recently I opened a box of Remington 30-06 my late grandfather handed down, I believe from the late 70's to early 80's, as well as picked up a new box of Remington 22LR for my own boy to plink with. Keep it coming, my American heroes!

      Maybe just maybe they start churning out their own damn calibers like 35 Remington..... Remington shut downing their hunting caliber production was like the start of WW2 when they quit making all the older ammunition, when WW2 ended, they didn't bring back any of the older ammunition. I aware there were very limited civilian sales due to wartime rationing and production being mobilized. I can't count all the rimfire calibers, that are firearms that have a box ammo more expensive the gun, where each shot fired is one robbed from every future generation to have that chance. Remington just abandoned their gun owners and people that bought into Remington calibers, back in the 1940's. Hopefully this restarting the plant will not be in the same fate for less popular guns and calibers that people use and have used for decades.

    After years of inability to find anything but cheap junk Aguila 22 rimfire (which isn’t loaded strong enough to cycle any of my semi-autos), I was thrilled when Remington 22 rimfire, my favorite brand,reappeared. I have bought 12 boxes of 525 rounds each so far, and am shooting it every single week. Not a single misfire so far, excellent accuracy, burns clean, and cycles the action perfectly. I am SO glad they are back.
    Now…what about primers!?

    I have used Remington ammo for decades. I supposed to a large degree because that is what I was brought up with. My dad bought predominately Remington ammo, especially rifle. Their 30.06 ammo was always pretty consistent in quality and performance. Decent price too. It is really good to see all the people back at their jobs, too. It is cool to think about the that when you buy a product.

    I've been using "Green Box" 30-06 ammo since the late 70s. It's always been accurate & consistent. Deadly on deer too. Instant lights-out most of the time. I've never had a core-lokt bullet fail to expand or break into pieces. Premium performance at a budget price.

    I’ve had a bad experience with Remington Ammo recently and it’ll be a while before I have the trust to buy more. Having said that, being in Australia, I don’t know if my ammo was pre or post bankruptcy stock.
    My issue was with 180gr 300 win mag ammo. I had cases split open at the neck in 11 out of the 20 rounds.

    Glad to see this! I grew up shooting Remington ammo some 50 years ago. About 20 years ago I stopped buying it, because at least with the .22 LR I was running into way too many failure to fire rounds, in some cases up to several rounds out of a 100. So yes, this is great news! And I really like those retro Peters 12GA blue paper shells!

    Remington Golden Bullets are my goto. America Needs Remington. I need Remington. My request in 10mm FMJ ball ammo for my 1911. The flat nose of TMJ does not cycle in a 1911 type gun. FYI the 1911 was designed around a ROUND bullet for reliable feeding. ALSO Everyone knows there are not enough primers being made. That machine should be running 24/7. Man it with Double Overtime workers if need be.
