Interview with RemArms CEO Ken D’Arcy

Rem870.com: Remington Arms’ bankruptcy was painful for Remington fans. How did the company go through these difficult times?

Ken D’Arcy: You’ve asked me about the Remington bankruptcy. Keep in mind, there was two Remington bankruptcies. The first one in 2018 which emerged in June 2018. And then the second one that emerged in 2020. I was not involved with the company for the original bankruptcy, I was invited to become a member of the Board of Directors by one of the two largest debt holders that subsequently became an equity holder as the company emerged from Chapter 11 in June of 2018. I sat on the Board of Directors for a year and took over CEO from the existing CEO of that time. And then put the company into bankruptcy for the second time.

This model was called the Remington Model 1100. It was first introduced in 1963 and has been manufactured ever since.
