A family-owned business has relocated from Massachusetts to Keene, a move that will allow it to expand and hire new employees over the next two years.
Samson Manufacturing Corp., a precision tool company specializing in firearms accessories, had done business in Whately, Mass., for about 17 years when its owners made the decision to move to the Granite State.
New Hampshire is friendly to gun manufacturers, said Scott Samson, company president. I also appreciate the help Michael Bergeron from the Department of Resources and Economic Development gave my wife, Cathy, and me, making introductions that helped to make this move possible.
Bergeron brought the Samsons together with Jack Dugan, president of the Monadnock Economic Development Corp., who helped finance building improvements and equipment purchases.
The Samsons' manufacturing operation is now located in a 20,000-square-foot building at 4 Forge St., in Keene. They have hired five new employees and plan to hire 20 more over the next two years.
Bergeron worked with the Samsons for over two years, before they made the move. To learn more about expanding businesses to NH, contact Michael Bergeron at 603-271-2591.
