Henry Repeating Arms will build all of its firearms in Wisconsin, according to Henry Repeating Arms's press release. The March 18, 2025 announcement ends production at the company's Bayonne, New Jersey plant and consolidates the work in Rice Lake and Ladysmith.
What Was Announced
Henry is moving its Bayonne operations to its newly expanded headquarters in Rice Lake. The company is also using two additional facilities in Ladysmith and is closing on a third Ladysmith facility. Henry says the move is meant to increase production capacity and support future product development.
Key Details
- All Bayonne, New Jersey manufacturing moves to Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
- Two Ladysmith, Wisconsin facilities are part of the new footprint.
- A third Ladysmith facility is scheduled to close in mid-summer 2025.
- The four facilities total about 400,000 square feet and sit within minutes of one another.
What It Means for Gun Owners
Henry says the consolidation should speed up time to market for new lever-action rifles and other segments the company plans to enter. It also says the setup will streamline distribution and improve quality control. The release does not say whether prices, product lines, or lead times will change.
Bottom Line
Henry is betting its future on a single state. The release makes clear that Wisconsin is now the center of the company's manufacturing, and the company is relying on its existing lever-action base to carry that growth.
