2003
Arson at the San Marcos manufacturing plant
On October 26, 2003, an arson fire damaged Hunter Industries' main San Marcos manufacturing plant. Fires were reportedly started at eight locations with accelerants, damaging inventory and production areas and causing approximately $17 million in losses. A disgruntled employee or former employee was considered a possible motive, but the available reference states that no one had been prosecuted by 2006. Hunter rebuilt and modernized the facility, which reopened in October 2006.
