August 1, 2026
Rideout Arsenal, a firearms designer and manufacturer, is investing $22 million in a new manufacturing facility in Thomasville, GA, creating 120 new jobs over the next several years.
"Georgia attracts job creators from all over the country and world because we work with them, not against them," said Gov. Brian Kemp. "Our state's pro-business approach, skilled workforce, and enduring support for constitutional freedoms make us an ideal home for manufacturers like Rideout Arsenal, and we look forward to their success here in the No. 1 state for business."
Travis and Kelsey Rideout, founders of Rideout Arsenal, said: "Rideout Arsenal is proud to manufacture innovative firearms in America using a localized supply chain built around trusted domestic partners, suppliers, and skilled labor. Thomasville and the state of Georgia provide a business environment necessary for us to continue designing and manufacturing high-performance products, made entirely here in the United States."
The new Rideout Arsenal facility will be located within the Plantation Oak Industrial Park, with additional buildings planned throughout the next few years. Rideout Arsenal is hiring for production, engineering, administrative, and management positions.
