When the Berettas decide to build a new factory, they take it seriously. And the groundbreaking that took place in Gallatin, Tennessee on August two weeks ago was impressive. The celebration was attended by a host of local and national politicians, representatives of the Beretta family the administration of Beretta USA, and a whole host of ecstatic Volunteers&#8211;all celebrating the announcement that Beretta would move all US production to Gallatin.<\/p>\n<p>The new factory will handle all production and research and development. Beretta is expecting that the expansion and move will create at least 300 jobs, though some of the work force is expected to relocate from Maryland. And Tennessee welcomes their new residents. They state sees Beretta&#8217;s relocation as a win for the state, and a boon for the local economy of Gallatin, which is a stone&#8217;s throw northeast of Nashville. While there may be only 300 jobs created by Beretta, there will be many jobs created to support the new factory. This is an area of the country that has a rich sporting history. Family values, always at the core of the Beretta brand, are equally important in rural Tennessee. It looks like a good match.<\/p>\n<p>The 160,000 square foot factory should be open in 2015 and will represent a $45 million investment. As you can see from the photos below, there&#8217;s a lot of room for growth, too. What&#8217;s next for Beretta? They&#8217;ve recently launched the ARX-100. They should have the .380 Pico out soon. There&#8217;s more coming, too, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24604\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Beretta-Groundbreaking-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"beretta-breaks-ground-tennessee\" title=\"Beretta Breaks Ground in Tennessee\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24604\" title=\"Beretta Breaks Ground in Tennessee\" class=\"wp-image-24604 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Beretta-Groundbreaking-1-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"Tennessee Gov.
