Henry Repeating Arms
Henry Repeating Arms is a firearms manufacturing company. As of 2023, Henry Repeating Arms ranked in the top three of U.S. long gun manufacturers, and fifth of U.S. firearm manufacturers, producing over 400,000 firearms annually.
Henry Repeating Arms was founded by Anthony Imperato and his father, Louis Imperato, in 1996 in Brooklyn, New York, after securing the trademark for the Henry brand. The name Henry Repeating Arms is inspired by Benjamin Tyler Henry, the inventor who patented the first repeating rifle in 1860, known as the Henry rifle. The company has no direct affiliation or historical connection to Benjamin Tyler Henry or to the New Haven Arms Company, which sold the original Henry rifle from 1862 to 1864. Henry Repeating Arms started with rimfire lever-action rifles but eventually expanded to include centerfire designs, shotguns, and handguns. The first rifle model, the H001 Classic Lever Action .22, was shipped in March of 1997. Two years later, the flagship Golden Boy model was introduced.
The original company motto was: “Made in America and Priced Right.” The current company motto is: “Made in America, or Not Made at All.”
In 2006, certain assets of Wright Products, as well as their 140,000 square foot facility in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, were acquired by Anthony Imperato. Wright Products was a supplier of components to Henry Repeating Arms since 1998, but was ceasing operations. Henry Repeating Arms retained 17 employees, including Andy Wickstrom, then Director of Operations at Wright Products. In 2015, Wickstrom was promoted to Vice President and General Manager, and then announced as company President in 2021.
Henry Repeating Arms maintained its headquarters in Brooklyn until announcing they would move their company to Bayonne, New Jersey. In September 2008, the company moved from its 40,000 square foot Brooklyn facility to a building with 109,000 square feet and brought 95 employees with them. In 2012, the Bayonne facility sustained massive damage from Hurricane Sandy with three feet of saltwater across the building, including machinery and inventory. The company was able to resume operations in three months with the help of employees and vendors. In 2013, despite the damage the Bayonne facility sustained from Hurricane Sandy, the company reported it shipped 300,000 rifles and employed 300 people.
By 2014, Henry Repeating Arms expanded their operations in Wisconsin and began manufacturing complete steel centerfire rifles at its Rice Lake facility. In 2021, they bought a second manufacturing facility with 84,000 square feet on 13.5 acres in Ladysmith, Wisconsin. The new facility would be less than an hour away from the facility in Rice Lake and would employ over 100 people. In the spring of 2025, Henry Repeating Arms announced they would be moving their headquarters and all operations from New Jersey to Wisconsin. Their headquarters would move to the Rice Lake facility and manufacturing would move to their two facilities in Ladysmith, with a third facility rumored to be closing in the summer. With four facilities in Rice Lake and Ladysmith, the company is estimated to have about 400,000 square feet of manufacturing operations.
Henry Repeating Arms announced a new Special Products Division (SPD) in March of 2025 that would research advancements in firearms design and technology. This division would include research into different materials, metallurgy, and improved manufacturing processes.
Henry Repeating Arms produced its first model, the Henry H001 Classic Lever Action .22, in March 1997. During their 20th anniversary in 2017, the company manufactured its one millionth H001 rifle.
