The new space is destined to house new automated machinery and grinding centers to enhance production, increase overall quality and improve delivery times.
Wilson Combat currently has 93,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse and office space for its 200-plus team members
Headquartered in Berryville since 1977, Wilson Combat manufactures handguns, rifles and shotguns, as well as firearm accessories and ammunition.
According to its website, Bill Wilson has always been infatuated with guns. Originally trained as a watchmaker, Wilson has been in the firearms industry since 1974, starting out with a retail store in Berryville.
