Who We Are
Total Quality Since 1946
The first product that Redding manufactured was a beam style powder scale which was the first of its kind designed expressly for reloading ammunition. This was quickly followed by a host of other products including a powder measure, shotshell reloading presses as well as rifle style sights and stock accessories for shotguns.
In the 1960’s, the company continued to evolve and began to focus primarily on manufacturing reloading tools. As non-reloading products were shed and new product introductions began, the company began marketing its product line under the name “Redding Reloading Equipment.”
In 1974, the company was purchased by local outdoorsman, benchrest shooter and Engineer, Mr. Richard Beebe. In the years that followed, Mr. Beebe worked tirelessly to instill his vision of quality and innovation on the products that he designed and put into production. As a forward thinking businessman, Richard prioritized assembling a team of extremely skilled machinists, toolmakers and customer service technicians as he understood that it was vital to making his company’s reputation what it is today. As a result of his hard work and dedication, years of growth and expansion ensued.
The following decades were marked by numerous building projects which added valuable space for new CNC Milling and Turning Centers, metrological equipment, and several research and developments laboratories. These additions and added capabilities led to the development of a host of new industry-leading products such as the venerable T-7 Turret Press, 2400 Case Trimming Lathe, Competition Powder Measures, our best-in-class Competition Neck Sizing and Seating Dies as well as many other award-winning and innovative products.
Redding has also continued to grow its product portfolio with several acquisitions. In 1986, Redding purchased the assets of the Santa Anita Engineering Company (SAECO). The SAECO product line includes high-quality bullet moulds and handles as well as the popular Lubri-Sizer amongst numerous other bullet casting tools.
In 2005, Imperial Lubricants, the originators of Imperial Sizing Die Wax and Imperial Dry Neck Lube, was acquired. As the industry leading brand in handloading lubricants, Imperial was a welcome addition to our product family. To this day, the production of both SAECO and Imperial Products continues in our manufacturing facility so that we can maintain high quality standards and acceptable lead times.
Today, Redding continues to grow and evolve in Central NY as new and updated machining centers are added to our production floor and skilled machinists become part of the Redding family
Over the years, the Redding team has continued to keep pace with the handloading market by holding firm to the beliefs that quality, innovation and excellent customer service are the keys to success. Whether in the hunting fields or on the firing line – Redding is proud to be a part of your success.
