TROY, AL — Kimber Mfg. has announced the promotion of Scott Moore to the position of Chief Operations Officer.

Moore recently returned to Kimber after a brief stint at E-One, a firetruck apparatus manufacturer with multiple locations nationwide. Before his return Moore served 7 years as the Vice President of operations for Kimber. It was Moore, who acted as a cornerstone in the transition of Kimber from Yonkers New York to Troy Alabama. His efforts were a critical contributor to Kimber’s success. Scott brings tremendous experience in the realm of lean manufacturing with decades spent at John Deere, Case New Holland and Whirlpool manufacturing. His relentless work ethic and attention to detail were honed during his time and service with the 5th Infantry Division following his graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point. He has already elevated the performance of Kimber production and quality control upon his return.

Upon his appointment, Scott Moore stated the following: “My mission at Kimber is to deliver the best Kimber firearms to the consumer base in a safe and quality manner. We have a phenomenal team capable of great products. Together we are going to grow ambitiously and provide compelling new introductions with a lead with speed mentality. We are reimagining the Kimber DNA by elevating performance, reliability and what it means to produce not only the best 1911’s in the world, but with guns like the 2K11 - the best handguns in the world.”

2025 has seen a tremendous influx of new product introductions from Kimber. With shipments of 2K11’s beginning earlier in the year, to the recent introduction of the Next Generation 1911, Kimber has reimagined its go-to-market strategy. There is an electric atmosphere within the halls of Kimber, we anticipate even greater things to come for our customers.

Dennis Dougherty, Board Advisor stated: “Scott’s promotion is exciting for Kimber. His return and elevation to Chief Operations Officer is a natural fit as Kimber anchors operations in Troy. We look forward to his lean engineering expertise crafting a sharp new edge to our manufacturing as Kimber enters the fall season and beyond.”
