Remington Rand ranked 66th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts. Remington Rand produced more M1911A1 pistols than any other wartime manufacturer. 45 caliber semi-automatic pistol used by the United States Armed Forces during World War II. įrom 1942 to 1945, Remington Rand was a contract manufacturer of the M1911A1. From 1936 to 1937 Remington Rand went on strike, which resulted in violence and the loss of jobs. Within the first year, Remington Rand acquired the Dalton Adding Machine Company, the Powers Accounting Machine Company, the Baker-Vawter Company, and the Kalamazoo Loose Leaf Binder Company. One of its earliest factories, the former Herschell–Spillman Motor Company Complex, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
