Remington Arms Company, LLC was an American manufacturer of firearms and ammunition, and was the largest rifle manufacturer in North America according to the ATF statistics in 2015. Founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington in Ilion, New York as E. Remington and Sons, it was one of the oldest gun makers in the US and claimed to be the oldest factory in the US that still made its original product.
Remington was the largest US producer of shotguns and rifles. The company developed or adopted more cartridges than any other gun maker or ammunition manufacturer in the world.
Until 2015, Remington Arms was part of the Freedom Group, which is owned by Cerberus Capital Management. In 2014, a new plant was built in Huntsville, Alabama to produce AR-15 style semi-automatic rifles and Remington 1911 R1 pistols. In 2015, the Freedom Group was renamed as Remington Outdoor Company. Remington filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, in March 2018, having accumulated over $950 million in debt. Remington exited bankruptcy in May 2018, less than two months after filing for protection under Ch. 11 laws. Remington's quick exit from bankruptcy was due to a pre-approved restructuring plan that was supported by 97% of its creditors. On 28 July 2020, it filed again for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and its assets were divided and sold.
