Heritage and History

Lyman Products traces its origin to 1878 in Middlefield, Connecticut, where the original Lyman Gunsight Company began manufacturing precision gun sights. The company acquired the IDEAL Loading Tool Company in 1925, entering the reloading equipment market and establishing the combination of precision manufacturing and shooter expertise that defines the brand.

The modern Lyman Products Corporation was re-established in 1978 with headquarters in Middletown, Connecticut, where the company has maintained domestic manufacturing for 145+ years of continuous operation — making it the oldest continuously operating reloading equipment company in America.
