Remington Arms Is Sold


Remington Arms, the gun maker that has equipped American soldiers for 150 years, has agreed to be acquired by a private equity firm, Cerberus Capital Management, for $118 million, a statement by Remington said yesterday. The company, based in Madison, N.C., reported its first profit in three years in 2006.

Remington is the countrys largest and oldest maker of rifles and shotguns. Founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington II, it was bought during the Depression by DuPont.

Over the years, Remington branched out to produce typewriters, sewing machines and cash registers, businesses it later shed.

In 1993, another equity firm, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice bought Remingtons assets from DuPont for $300 million. The deal announced yesterday includes $252 million of debt.
