At the Clarksville-Montgomery County Economic Development Council, our mission is to build a community where people want to visit, live, work and invest. While we often highlight new businesses locating here and existing companies growing, it’s just as important to celebrate the products being made in Clarksville – many of which are used across the country and around the world. Our “Made Here in Clarksville” series shines a light on the companies behind that impact. Our spotlight this month is Troy Industries.
Clarksville’s manufacturing sector continues to produce specialized products used around the world. One of the companies contributing to that reputation is Troy Industries, a Clarksville-based manufacturer known internationally for designing and producing advanced firearm components, accessories and weapon systems.
Founded in 2003 by Stephen Troy Jr., the company was built on a mission to create mission-ready equipment engineered for reliability, precision and durability in demanding environments. Drawing on Troy’s background in both military service and law enforcement, the company focused on developing products that professionals could trust in high-stakes situations.
Today, Troy Industries designs and manufactures a wide range of products, including rifles, rail systems, optics mounts, slings and firearm accessories. Many of these products are used by military personnel, law enforcement agencies and professional shooters worldwide. The company’s flagship innovation – the Troy Folding BattleSight – helped establish its reputation for high-performance engineering and remains widely recognized within the industry.
Troy products and OEM components
Operating from its Clarksville headquarters and manufacturing facility on Corporate Parkway, Troy Industries produces its products in Tennessee using advanced machining and manufacturing technologies. Automated CNC equipment and rigorous quality-control processes ensure components meet strict specifications, reinforcing the company’s reputation for precision and dependability.
Beyond manufacturing its own products, Troy Industries also serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), producing custom firearm components for other leading brands in the industry. This full-service manufacturing capability allows the company to handle both small and large production runs while maintaining consistent quality standards.
Troy’s reach extends far beyond Tennessee. The company exports firearms and accessories to customers across six continents and more than 35 countries, demonstrating how products engineered and manufactured in Clarksville are used by professionals worldwide.
Clarksville’s advanced manufacturing sector
For Clarksville, companies like Troy Industries represent the strength and diversity of the region’s advanced manufacturing sector. Their presence supports skilled jobs, contributes to the local economy, and highlights the city’s ability to attract and grow specialized manufacturing operations.
As the Made Here in Clarksville series continues, Troy Industries stands as another example of how innovation, craftsmanship, and advanced technology come together locally to create products that serve customers around the globe.
“There are so many incredible things Made Here in Clarksville,” said Josh Ward, executive director of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Industrial Development Board. “Thanks to the Aspire Foundation for funding this project, we’re excited to give our community a behind-the-scenes look at the products manufactured right here at home, from cookware and Italian tile to washing machines. It’s all made here.”
