The ammunition industry continues to expand in north central Idaho. Vector Bullets, a start-up in Lewiston, is producing 223-caliber bullets that are popular for target shooting because they are a less expensive round. The company employs two people and is hiring four more. Owner Dan Dorman expects to employ 12 by the end of the year. In addition, Seekins Precision, manufacturer of high quality modern design sporting rifles, celebrated the grand opening of its new factory near the Lewiston airport in May. The business began 10 years ago in a garage, and then moved to the Port of Lewiston’s business incubator four years later. The company and its 25 employees has now outgrown the incubator. Its new 25,000-square-foot building represents a $4 million investment into the community. For more information, visit http://labor.idaho.gov or www.lewis-clarkvalley.org.
