Governor Greg Gianforte made a visit to the newly expanded Alpha Loading Systems Facility in Stevensville, Montana. The governor’s visit came in response to the recent expansion of the company’s operations, driven by the increased demand for its American-made machinery and ammunition. This development underscores the vital role that small businesses play in Montana’s economy, as Governor Gianforte highlighted during his visit.
Alpha Loading Systems, which originated as a part of Bitterroot Tool & Machine and began its operations in Stevensville in 1999, specializes in manufacturing ammunition loading and priming machinery. The expansion of their facility in April 2023 has positioned the company to serve a broader national and international market, indicating significant growth and success in their field.
During his visit, Governor Gianforte expressed his enthusiasm for Alpha Loading Systems’ contribution to the local economy, noting the creation of 45 well-paying jobs in the Bitterroot region. He also emphasized the exciting prospect of further expansion, demonstrating the company’s potential to double or even triple its workforce over the next three to five years. The governor’s support and involvement in the visit served to boost employee morale and highlight his commitment to the success of local businesses like Alpha Loading Systems.
