The story of Henry Repeating Arms begins in Brooklyn, New York, in 1996, when Louis and Anthony Imperato set out to revive the spirit of American firearms manufacturing. Inspired by the legacy of Benjamin Tyler Henry, whose 1860 lever-action rifle revolutionized the industry, the Imperatos secured the Henry trademark and launched their first model, the H001 Classic Lever Action .22, in 1997. Despite entering a competitive market dominated by established brands, Henry quickly distinguished itself through a relentless focus on quality, affordability, and American-made values. The company faced early challenges in scaling production and establishing a nationwide dealer network, but overcame these hurdles through innovation and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. Major milestones include expanding manufacturing to Wisconsin, introducing a diverse lineup of rifles and shotguns, and reaching the production of millions of units. Today, Henry Repeating Arms stands as a symbol of American ingenuity, with a vision to preserve the heritage of classic firearms while embracing modern manufacturing techniques. Their ongoing mission is to deliver reliable, beautifully crafted firearms that honor the past and serve the needs of today’s shooters.
