With Americans arming themselves at a historic rate, Sturm Ruger recorded its biggest year since 2016 while reconnecting a historic gun maker to its Connecticut roots.
Ruger revenue jumped 39 percent last year to $569 million, producing a $90 million profit that was its highest since 2011.
The Fairfield-based company added 130 employees last year to push its work force to 1,840 people entering January. Ruger currently lists 35 openings, none in Connecticut and the largest number at its Mayodan, N.C. manufacturing plant where it will assemble Marlin rifles.
