Kimber Mfg. has transitioned official corporate headquarters to Troy, Alabama.

The move, along with current hiring in multiple departments, was expected after Kimber opened a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the southeast Alabama town in 2019. Kimber previously was located in Yonkers, New York.

Kimber’s new headquarters is situated on more than 80 acres, with more than 225,000 square feet of space. The facility is home to industry-leading design engineering, product management and manufacturing capabilities. After an exhaustive search, Troy was chosen for a multitude of reasons including its proximity to top-tier engineering schools as well as gun- and business-friendly support from the city of Troy and the state Alabama.

“Kimber is a great place to work, especially if you love firearms,” said Pedi Gega, director of assembly and product finishing. “We have two indoor gun ranges, one outdoor range, a state-of-the-art design and prototype fabrication center, and a dynamic team of professionals who pride themselves in producing firearms with unmatched attention to detail, design and performance. Every Kimber firearm is created with a unique blend of advanced precision technology and authentic human craftsmanship.”

Kimber said its Alabama expansion is well ahead of schedule but it is seeking qualified applicants across multiple positions and business areas including CNC technicians, machinists, quality control specialists, lean technicians, design engineers, compliance analysts, customer service representatives, materials planners, maintenance technicians, finishing operators, and assembly technicians.
