  • Firearms manufacturer RemArms, formerly Remington Arms, is set to shutter its manufacturing facility in Ilion, New York, next year, a move that Republicans attribute to the anti-gun policies advocated by Democrats.
  • In a letter sent to union officials on Nov. 30, RemArms, LLC, communicated the decision to close its operations at 14 Hoefler Avenue, Ilion, NY 13357 (the ‘Ilion Facility’).
  • The company anticipates the conclusion of operations at the Ilion Facility around March 4, 2024, emphasizing that this decision was not made lightly, as reported by the local newspaper, the Utica Observer-Dispatch.
