The Marshall Economic Development Corp., along with dignitaries from Rio Ammunition and its parent company, Maxam, members of the media and local citizens were treated to a tour of the newly-opened Rio Ammunition plant in Marshall on Thursday.
The state-of-the-art, 105,000-square-foot facility will produce 1,000,000 shotgun shells each day when it is up and running at 100 percent capacity, letting Rio fulfill North American customer orders in a fraction of the time it used to take.
The project broke ground in April, 2014, and will employ 90 full-time jobs in the Marshall area.
