Products Made in Mississippi

Peavey Electronics was founded by Hartley Peavey in Meridian, Mississippi in 1965, starting in his parents' garage and growing into one of the world's largest musical instrument manufacturers. For decades, Peavey's Meridian facility produced guitars, amplifiers, mixing consoles, and PA systems that became the backbone of American live music — from church bands and school music programs to professional touring rigs. Mississippi's manufacturing heritage, while often associated with automotive and furniture production, includes this singular contribution to American music infrastructure, built entirely on the vision and stubbornness of a single Mississippi inventor who refused to take his manufacturing offshore. Primos Hunting has manufactured game calls in Flora, Mississippi since 1976, producing duck calls, turkey calls, and deer calls hand-tuned by Mississippi hunters for hunters across North America.
