- after moving from longtime home in Massachusetts Gun manufacturing giant Smith & Wesson hosted a grand opening of its $125 million new Tennessee headquarters after moving from its longtime home in Massachusetts.
The company built a new 650,000-square feet office in Maryville as part of a relocation plan announced in 2021.
The gunmaker had been located in Springfield, Massachusetts, since the mid-19th century, but hoped to move to a more gun-friendly state.
'From where I stand, the next 170 years of Smith & Wesson are looking pretty good. It is something special here in Tennessee,' President and CEO Mark Smith said at Saturday's grand opening.
