MILWAUKEE, Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Henry Repeating
Arms and their Big Boy All-Weather lever action rifle won the
'Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin'
competition organized by the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce
(WMC) from a contestant pool of over 150 different products and
companies. The Big Boy All-Weather, which is manufactured in
Henry's Rice Lake, Wisconsin
facility, was nominated earlier this year in August and then went
all the way through 4 rounds of popular votes. Over 30,000 votes
were cast in the last round. The rifle, available in .44 Magnum,
.357 Magnum and .45 Colt, is a popular choice for hunters that need
a firearm that is less susceptible to harsh environmental
conditions.
"It is incredible to see the diversity of products manufactured
here in this state, and we are proud to call Wisconsin home," said Dan Clayton-Luce, Communications Director of
Henry Repeating Arms during Henry's acceptance speech. Clayton-Luce
continues, "We would like to thank all of the more than 500 Henry
employees from both our Rice Lake,
WI facility and Bayonne, NJ
facility for being so dedicated to putting out a quality product
every day."
Henry's 100,000+ sq. ft. Wisconsin manufacturing facility, managed by
Henry Vice President and General
Manager Andy Wickstrom, is
responsible for about half of Henry's entire product line, which
encompasses over 200 different rifle and shotguns.
"This is a very exciting win for us," says Henry Repeating Arms
President and Owner, Anthony
Imperato. "We take so much pride in Made in America and it's
clear that our fans and customers appreciate it just as much as we
do. I would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for
us."
