Troy Industries Moving to Tennessee

Monday, May 17th, 2021

Troy Industries was founded in Massachusetts by Air Force Veteran and Massachusetts State Trooper Steve Troy. There’s no doubt that Massachusetts? is Troy’s home so it came as quite a surprise to find out that Troy Industries had recently announced that they are moving their operation to Clarksville, Tennessee beginning in June. Of course, Steve Troy is also a pragmatist.

“While TROY has enjoyed a very successful period of growth in Massachusetts, the changing climate for firearms manufacturers in the state determined the need for our relocation to Tennessee to ensure the continued success of the company. We are excited to begin this new venture and appreciate all the support we have already received from Representative Mark Green, Governor Bill Lee and the state of Tennessee in making this relocation possible.”

Steve Troy,
President and CEO,
Troy Industries, Inc.

They plan to employ 75 employees and Tennessee is glad to have them.

“I appreciate TROY for choosing to relocate to Tennessee and am proud to partner with this world-renowned firearms manufacturer. When companies pick Tennessee to locate or expand their operations, it is a vote of confidence to our state’s business-friendly climate and skilled workforce. I thank TROY for this investment and the creation of new jobs for Tennesseans.”

Thompson/Center Arms’ loyal consumers should rest assured that they will continue to receive the world-class firearms, accessories, and customer service support that the brand has been known for since its founding in 1965.  We remain fully committed to the hunting and long-range shooting market, and with this divestiture we will be able to now focus on these categories under our iconic Smith & Wesson brand.  Additionally, this will allow us to immediately redirect manufacturing capacity to increase overall production volumes, allowing us to gain additional market share while simultaneously increasing profitability.”
