HiViz Shooting Systems finalizing move from Fort Collins to Laramie

FORT COLLINS — HiViz Shooting Systems has nearly completed its departure from Fort Collins to Laramie, Wyo.

HiViz, a manufacturer of fiber-optic gun sights, will complete the move within the next two weeks from 1941 Heath Parkway in Fort Collins to 620 S. Adams St. in Laramie, a spokesman told BizWest on Friday.

HiViz announced in 2013 it would move, joining Magpul Industries Corp., a firearms and ammunition company that moved operations from Erie, Colo. to the former Jeld-Wen manufacturing plant in Cheyenne, Wyo., because of stricter gun laws passed in Colorado in 2013.

Empowering communities

Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP), part of the UnitedHealthcare family, has pledged its commitment to uplift these communities through substantial investments in organizations addressing the distinct needs of our communities.

HiViz in April of that year said it would pursue a new location more supportive of its products and customers. HiViz constructed a new facility in Laramie because of the city’s strong support of the shooting sports manufacturing and supply-chain industries, HiViz’s president and chief executive Phillip Howe told trade magazine Guns and Gear.

Howe said Laramie also was chosen because of Wyoming’s tax advantages for the business and its employees, the various resources available through the University of Wyoming and a favorable location with a beautiful view of the Snowy Range mountains to the west.
