Union Metallic Cartridge Company

The Union Metallic Cartridge Company was incorporated in Connecticut in 1867 and constructed a plant at Bridgeport. In 1916 it merged with the Remington Arms and Ammunition Company of Ilion, N.Y., to form the Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Company. The firm was reincorporated in Delaware as the Remington Arms Company on May 24, 1920, and was eventually merged into E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. in 1980.

The Union Metallic Cartridge Company was incorporated under the general laws of Connecticut on August 9, 1867 and by special act of June 27, 1873. It was organized by Marcellus Hartley and J. R. Schuyler for the purpose of manufacturing ammunition at Bridgeport. The Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Company was incorporated on January 14, 1916 for the purpose of acquiring the capital stock and businesses of both the Union Metallic Cartridge Company and the Remington Arms and Ammunition Company of Ilion, N.Y. The Union Metallic Cartridge Company was retained as a corporate shell with the board meeting until February 7, 1936. It was dissolved on April 27, 1937.
