Remington top hiring, wage milestones at Alabama gun plant

Remington Outdoor has exceeded hiring and wage milestones at its new advanced manufacturing and research and development center.

A report from the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County shows the firearm maker had 324 employees as of Aug. 31.  They have an average hourly wage nearly $10 higher than stated in the development agreement between the company, City of Huntsville and state.

Remington was required to create at least 280 full-time positions by the close of the second project year ending Feb. 28.

Remington is still hiring production team members through AIDT. It received an extensive incentive package from the city, local counties and state to launch the $110 million plant on 100 Electronics Boulevard in Huntsville.
