Freedom Munitions, LLC announced recently the decision to consolidate projectile component production from X-Treme Bullets out of Nevada into its Lewiston, Idaho facilities.
The decision was made to streamline production and eliminate the dual inefficiencies between Carson City and Lewiston production. While several layoffs in Carson City did occur, other key employees have been offered remote and/or relocation opportunities to Idaho. This measure adds production demand to Lewiston on the component side.
“Freedom Munitions has grown and evolved rapidly over the past several years, which has resulted in some duplication of roles and job functions that are difficult to justify today, said Toby Thill, President of Freedom Munitions. “The restructuring we are undertaking will reduce our costs and improve our operating model so we can thrive and continue to have controlled growth in the right areas. We are going to continue to invest into our future with more LAX retail store locations in California, while expanding the rifle casings caliber offerings in Idaho.”
X-Treme Bullets’ branded items will remain available, and production processes for quality plated bullets and brass will not change. X-Treme’s products are available via www.xtremebullets.com as well as through wholesale and OEM channels per usual.
Freedom Munitions expects the Carson City facility to be fully shut down by end of 2024.
