American Military News by Timothy Frudd October 09, 2023
Renowned firearm manufacturer Smith & Wesson has officially relocated its headquarters from New England to Maryville, Tennessee.
Having established roots in Connecticut in 1852 before moving to Springfield, Massachusetts, Smith & Wesson now proudly stands on a sprawling 650,000-square-foot facility in Tennessee, according to Fox Business. The gun manufacturer hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday to celebrate the move.
“From where I stand, the next 170 years of Smith & Wesson are looking pretty good,” Mark Smith, president and CEO of Smith & Wesson, told The Daily Times. “It is something special here in Tennessee.”
The National Rifle Association (NRA) was quick to commend Smith & Wesson’s relocation to a state with more relaxed gun laws than Massachusetts.
