Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) recently announced an award of approximately $50 million to Remington Outdoor Company, Inc., to produce more than 50,000 R4 carbine rifles for the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Work for the direct commercial sale contract will be completed in Ilion by Mohawk Valley employees. Components for the rifles will be sourced from Remington’s facilities and suppliers in 20 states.
In addition to the 50,000 carbine rifles, Remington Outdoor, the parent company of Remington Arms, will manufacture accessories and spare parts and provide training for the use of the rifles.
“The award of this competitive contract continues to prove Remington’s excellence in the industry worldwide,” Hanna said. “I have full confidence that this contract will be fulfilled with the high quality and standards that define our Ilion workforce. The proven performance of Remington’s quality products keeps attracting buyers at home and abroad.”
Founded in 1816 in Upstate New York, Remington Arms is one of the United States’ oldest continually operating manufacturers. The company designs, produces and sells sporting goods products for the hunting and shooting sports markets, as well as for the military, government and law enforcement markets.
