Marlin Closing Plant and laying off workers.
« on: March 26, 2010, 05:44:24 PM »
Remington announced today it would be closing the Marlin plant, and giving all Marlin workers pink slips.  No announcement as to what they are going to do about the manufacture of Marlin guns.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I got the feeling that they are tired of the politics in the state and may move production else where. They already moved H&R .

  Yes, they are just moving south, but said they were staying in the US.

They are loosing the union, loosing the incredibly high cost of living, the unbelieveably high taxes, poor quality schools and the most insane political farce that has ever reared its ugly head in this United States. 

Smart move on their part.

They're more likely moving to Ilion NY, this is just a blog, not official.

After 140 years, the Marlin plant located in North Haven, Connecticut will be closed by the middle of next year. According to Remington Arms sources, the facility is being decommissioned and the manufacturing relocated to Remington’s Ilion, New York facilities, the Marlin lines are not moving offshore.

Living here and seeing whats been going on for decades now its the foreclosures that still scare me.  Its still the wagon trains(moving vans) of people heading west, southwest and south for the good jobs.  It has never stopped yet even when there was no recession.

We have ghost factories that once were manufacturing plants for the whole world back when we were a world leader in manufacturing.  The state of Ct has tax'd then to death or forced them to move elsewhere to make a profit.

Now lets call it what it really is a "Depression".    We haven't hit the bottom yet even though the stock market is surviving.  But its still in a life raft.

The only good thing is our made in CT marlins will be worth more to collectors in 50 years or so.
