Just a year after AMTEC Less-Lethal Systems, Inc., (ALS) announced it was relocating its headquarters and manufacturing operations from Arkansas to Taylor County, the company held a dedication ceremony at its new facility located on U.S. 19 just north of Perry.

The ceremony was held Wednesday morning and featured representatives from ALS’s parent company, National Presto Industries, Inc., along with those from local and state government agencies who assisted with ALS’s decision to move to Taylor County.
