Planting its flag firmly in the State of Wisconsin solidifies Henry Repeating Arms’ commitment to American craftsmanship in the heart of the Midwest.
Significant investments in automation at its new Wisconsin manufacturing facilities will increase Henry Repeating Arms’ production capacity to meet increased demand for the company’s firearms.
RICE LAKE, Wis.—Henry Repeating Arms has announced the transfer of its entire Bayonne, New Jersey, manufacturing operations to its newly expanded headquarters in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and two additional facilities in nearby Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
The company—known for making high-quality lever-action rifles and single-shots—is also closing on a third Ladysmith facility in mid-summer 2025. Henry says the transition accommodates the need for increased production capacity and better supports the company’s future growth driven by innovative firearms design.
“We are putting all of our eggs in one basket, the Wisconsin basket,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, “because it makes us more efficient, more productive, and allows for more collaboration amongst our design and engineering teams, all while sustaining and enhancing Henry’s solid reputation for quality. With about 400,000 square feet of cutting-edge manufacturing operations in four facilities within minutes of each other, Henry Repeating Arms is well positioned for its next chapter.”
Henry Repeating Arms has played a principal role in the increased consumer demand for American-made lever-action rifles, a platform the company has been committed to since its founding.
“This transition allows us to double down on what we do best—making world-class rifles, shotguns, and revolvers right here in the heart of America,” said Andrew Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “Our Wisconsin operations have been essential to our success for a long time, and now it is the cornerstone of our bright future.”

As the company introduces new lever-actions and expands into other segments, Henry says its increased capacity in Wisconsin accelerates speed to market, streamlines distribution, and enhances quality control to effectively meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s firearm enthusiasts, competitors, hunters, and collectors.
The company’s entire catalog of more than 200 different rifles, shotguns, and revolvers, including the flagship Golden Boy rifle, will now have a “Made in Rice Lake, WI” barrel rollmark.
“Wisconsin Gun Owners (WGO) congratulates Henry Repeating Arms on moving its complete manufacturing operations to northern Wisconsin and expanding its production here in our state,” said Corey Graff, executive director of WGO. “We appreciate Henry’s commitment to gun rights and especially how it keeps walnut-stocked lever-actions and single-shots available to shooters. We hope we never lose these timeless designs.”

With Wisconsin’s turkey season right around the corner, Badger State hunters chasing toms will want to take a close look at Henry’s new Single Shot Turkey Camo .410 Shotgun in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland camo. With its removable choke for use with Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, the small-bore looks to be light on the shoulder, while TSS packs a punch on tough-skinned longbeards.
