Freedom Group Inc.

bankrupt American firearms manufacturer holding company

World’s leading innovator, designer, manufacturer, and marketer of firearms, ammunition, and related products for the hunting, shooting sports, law enforcement, and military markets. One of the largest manufacturers in the world of firearms and ammunition, owning some of the most globally recognized brands including Remington, Bushmaster, DPMS/Panther Arms, Marlin, H&R, NEF, LC Smith, Parker, EOTAC and INTC. Cerberus acquired Bushmaster — the manufacturer of the rifle used by the gunman in the Newtown attacks that killed 27 people, including 20 schoolchildren — in 2006. The private equity giant later merged it with other gun companies to create the Freedom Group.
