In the company’s own words
Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWBI) operates as one of the world's leading manufacturers and designers of firearms, with its website located at www.smith-wesson.com.

Founded in 1852 by Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson, Smith & Wesson represents over 170 years of American manufacturing and engineering expertise. The company acquired Smith & Wesson from Tomkins Corporation in 2001 and underwent a significant corporate restructuring in 2020 when it completed the separation of its outdoor products and accessories business. In 2021, the company announced a relocation of its headquarters and significant operations to Maryville, Tennessee, completed in 2023.
The company operates four manufacturing facilities totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet: a 645,000 square-foot facility in Maryville, Tennessee; a 575,000 square-foot facility in Springfield, Massachusetts; and two facilities totaling 44,000 square feet in Houlton, Maine. All facilities maintain ISO 9001 certification. Smith & Wesson sells its products under the Smith & Wesson and Gemtech brands, with the latter representing its firearm suppressor line acquired in 2017.
The company's product portfolio includes iconic offerings such as the M&P pistol line launched in 2005, the M&P modern sporting rifle introduced in 2006, and the Model 1854 lever-action rifle launched in 2024. Smith & Wesson maintains a robust research and development operation with 46 dedicated employees focused on product innovation and enhancement. The company distributes products through two-step distribution channels, strategic retailers, buying groups, and direct sales to law enforcement and government agencies, with international sales representing approximately four percent of total net sales. The business model emphasizes organic growth through brand leverage, innovative product development, operational streamlining, and maximizing return on invested capital.
