Kimber Arms moving headquarters from New York to Troy, Alabama creating 366 Alabama jobs

[AL] Kimber Manufacturing is moving its corporate headquarters to Troy and will "aggressively hire" in all departments.The firearms manufacturer last week announced it is moving to a new facility it built last year on 80 acres with more than 225,000 square feet of space, with design engineering, product management and manufacturing space.

The company, formerly based in Yonkers, N.Y., pledged two years ago to open a $38 million production facility in Troy, creating 366 jobs over the next five years, which Gov. Kay Ivey announced in her 2018 State of the State address.

In an announcement, the company said Troy was chosen for, among several reasons, its proximity to engineering schools as well as pro-gun, pro-business support from the city of Troy and Alabama.

The company said it is seeking applicants across several categories, including CNC technicians, machinists, quality control specialists, lean technicians, design engineers, compliance analysts, customer service representatives, materials planners, maintenance technicians, finishing operators, and assembly technicians.

Interested applicants may apply here.

Pedi Gega, director of assembly and product finishing, said the campus has two indoor gun ranges, one outdoor range, and a design and prototype fabrication center.

"Every Kimber firearm is created with a unique blend of advanced precision technology and authentic human craftsmanship," Gega said.

#3 The old Kimbers made in Oregon were higher quality. I located a 6.5 x 55 Swedish for my daughter and a .308 for my son. Mounted each with a Leupold scope and accompanied by a box of Nosler ammo. A very nice all Oregon outfit. Glad that Noveske is still in business carrying on the tradition.
