Daniel Defense recently announced plans for a five-year, $20 million expansion to its Bryan County, Ga. Facility.

"We are proud to be among the nation's fastest growing private companies according to Inc. 500|5000 Magazine," said Marty Daniel, president and CEO of Daniel Defense. "Maintaining the level of growth we've experienced over the last 10 years requires a long-term vision, continued momentum, while maintaining the level of quality expected by our customers."

The expansion will increase manufacturing and administrative space at its Bryan County facility to more 100,000 square feet.

"This is yet another step toward bringing every part of the manufacturing process in-house, which will in turn give us ultimate control over quality assurance," exclaimed Daniel.

Daniel Defense opened its 47,000 square foot facility in Bryan County in 2009, and this is not the company’s first expansion. In 2012, Daniel Defense opened a 90,000 square foot facility in Ridgeland, S.C.
