Starline Brass Announces Building Expansion Hunter’s Specialties S tarline Brass has completed a $1 million, 20,000-square-foot expansion to its Sedalia, Mo., headquarters in response to the company’s need for increased manufacturing, warehouse and office space. According to company officials, a growth in market share, the addition of new products and the growing appeal of reloading were factors in the company’s decision to expand. The expansion, which company officials say will increase Starline’s production capacity by more than 10 percent, also included an investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment. “Reloading has been a hobby for diehard shooting enthusiasts for a long time, because they want to control every aspect of their loads,” said Starline vice president Robert Hayden Jr. “What we’re seeing now is that more weekend and occasional shooters and hunters are taking up reloading as raw material increases continue to drive up the cost of factory-loaded ammo.” Starline logged a 17-percent increase in order volume in the last year, according to Hayden. The company plans to expand its vintage black powder offerings and introduce additional mainstream rifle cartridges this year. Starline offers customers more than 80 different calibers of brass cases for handguns and rifles. For more information, visit www.starlinebrass.com. Introduces New Logo H unter’s Specialties has a new logo to coincide with the company’s packaging strategy. The logo features a bright, uncluttered design with a contemporary look that is more visually appealing and identifiable on store shelves. This marks the first logo update in the company’s history. Dave and Carman Forbes started Hunter’s Specialties in 1977 with a single product — a roll of No-Mar camo tape. Now, Hunter’s Specialties produces over 800 accessories for hunters. “We’re always looking for ways to improve not only our products, but the visual impact our packaging has on store shelves,” said Dave Forbes. “With the new logo and rich, gold packaging, consumers will be able to readily identify our products when they shop retail outlets.” For more information, visit www. hunterspec.com. Starline’s headquarters includes a 20,000-square-foot expansion.
