Remington Ammunition is back in operation, and its new president, Jason Vanderbrink, addresses consumers straight from the factory floor in his latest “Where’s the Ammo?” video above.
“Today, we’re in our American manufacturing facility in Lonoke, Ark.,” Vanderbrink said. “You’ll see that Big Green is back and stronger than ever.”
Following Remington Outdoors’ bankruptcy in 2020, Vista Outdoor, parent company of Federal Premium, purchased the Remington ammunition facility in Arkansas, along with most of Remington’s trademarks. Immediately following the acquisition, Vista sent a number of experienced managers down to the Lonoke facility to get production back on track.
The lack of consistent production at the Remington ammo plant is considered one of the elements in the perfect storm of supply chain issues that have plagued the ammo market through 2020 and into 2021.
“You know what? I am sick and tired of not being able to find Remington ammunition on the shelves,” he said. “We are fixing that. American manufacturing is about to roar, and Remington ammunition is back.”
Remington, one of the largest ammunition facilities in the United States, had difficulty obtaining the raw materials needed to fill its capacity. As a result, employees were laid off, machines were idled, all while domestic ammunition demand reached unprecedented heights. With Vista Outdoor’s management, production is flowing.
“Our workforce is doing fantastic, and our raw material suppliers have really come through, so now, Remington’s going 24/7, and everyone will get to enjoy the quality ammunition that Lonoke, Ark. makes,” Vanderbrink said.
Now under competent management, the Remington plant has a bright future ahead, and consumers can take a look at what’s rolling out from the factory at Remington Ammunition’s new website. As production ramps up, Vanderbrink highlighted the primary focus of the plant’s new management.
“It took 205 years to build this brand, and we will never, ever sacrifice quality,” he added.
I’m sick and tired of not finding ANY ammo on the shelves.
6.5 Creedmoor, unshot, as I don’t think $2.50 to $6 PER ROUND is acceptable for zeroing and scope testing, as many articles point out/warn of scammers buying up EVERYTHING – and then reselling it for as much as they can
People hear this site loud and fkg clear
I guess it all depends on who they sell it to and at what price
Ill be watching
because I have a bad feeling that all these ammo companies are out to fck we the people , because they probably all got bought by venture capitalist’s , that have already proven out that they don’t give a shit about us
you no longer can trust the brand names of old , the ownership and companies have been sold to investment groups
actions speak louder than any words , watch these fckers like they stole yer kid
Yeah, good point, smoke and mirrors
Not just ammo companies… health/beauty products as well. Tom’s of Maine used to make great toothpaste without flouride and Bert’s Bees used to make chappies that I would buy…now both likely owned by some “parent” “investment” outfit that BTW supports BLM, aka Black Looters Murderers…. and of course Antifa! So I am boycotting (and a lot more outfits as well).
My suggestion for heath/beauty products? Nuluv, a family owned goat milk product company in the Texas Hill Country. My daughter introduced me to them a few years ago…great chappies, shampoos, skin creams, shower soaps, etc. And they are “cruelty-free” as well.

Thanks for the link, DL
5 dolla for a 4 ounce bar, but 6 dolla for a pound of ‘naked’ soap YOWZA! Guess which I ordered? 🙂
You are most welcome, Mary! One o’ these days when I get all the info I need I’d like to post here all the independent small family-mom & pop companies that make great products, do not support social justice hypocrites and commie murderers, and can let one hopefully stop supporting oligarchies like Amazon and Walmart!
Now, if you love beer and root beer, may I recommend St. Arnolds? they are family owned in Houston, and their Pumpkinator (yes, it has pumpkin) is out of this world, which is why it is hard to get except from October to December. And their root beer leaves Abita a mile behind….
