Kimber announced this week it will expand operations to central Alabama in 2019.
The new design, engineering and manufacturing facility in Troy will expand Kimber’s footprint to three states, including its home base in New York and a plant in Montana.
“This is a dream come true for the City of Troy and for me personally,” said Troy Mayor Jason Reeves. “A firearms manufacturing company with such a stellar brand as Kimber, creating jobs and capital investment for the community. Troy has a strong manufacturing base and Kimber will certainly, positively add to that.”
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said the $38 million plant will create more than 350 jobs over the next five years.
“With talented Alabamians already manufacturing a wide range of high-quality products that are in demand around the globe, the state can offer Kimber an ideal business environment and a skilled workforce for its expansion project,” she said. “Kimber’s investment in Troy will create a significant number of high-paying design engineering and manufacturing jobs, and we are committed to helping the company find long-lasting success in Alabama.”
