KDG Approved as New Vendor Partner with Mid-States Distributing; Set to Attend Fall Rendezvous in Arizona

Kinetic Development Group (KDG) is proud to announce its approval as an official vendor partner with MidStates Buying Group, expanding the company's reach into one of the most established and influential dealer networks in the outdoor and shooting sports industry.

This new partnership connects KDG's growing line of American-made firearm accessories—including its widely adopted MREX® rail systems, Kinect™ quick-attach mounting solutions, optics mounts, and precision components—with a broad footprint of independent retailers across the country. MidStates members represent hundreds of storefront locations serving dedicated hunters, shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts in regional markets where trusted local dealers drive purchasing decisions.

With MidStates' extensive retail presence and deep community relationships, the partnership provides a powerful channel to place KDG products directly into the hands of end users who demand durable, mission-ready equipment.

KDG will officially kick off its engagement with the group by attending the MidStates Fall Rendezvous in Arizona this August, where the team will meet with members, showcase new product releases, and discuss program opportunities designed to help dealers maximize margin and velocity at retail.

"Being approved as a MidStates vendor is an important step in our growth strategy," said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing at KDG. "Their members represent some of the most respected and largest retailers in the country. We're excited to support them with products that move quickly, solve real problems for shooters, and deliver strong margins. We're looking forward to connecting with members ahead of the Fall Rendezvous and seeing everyone in Arizona."

Leading up to the event, KDG encourages MidStates members to reach out to schedule meetings, review programs, and explore how the company's expanding product lineup can add value to their assortments.
