Kinetic Development Group (KDG) is proud to announce a highly successful first quarter in 2026, marked by strong sales performance, expanding dealer engagement, and continued momentum across key distribution channels. The company's strategic presence at major buy group shows has driven measurable growth, positioning KDG on a powerful trajectory for the remainder of the year.
Throughout Q1, KDG's participation in leading industry buy group events created meaningful connections with dealers and reinforced the brand's position as a premier provider of innovative firearm accessories. Increased engagement with buy group members has translated into stronger dealer adoption, deeper product penetration, and a growing footprint across retail channels.
"Q1 has been a defining start to the year for us," said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing at KDG. "Our visibility at buy group shows and the response from dealers has validated both our product lineup and our long-term strategy. We're seeing real momentum build, and it's setting the tone for what's ahead in 2026."
KDG also continues to expand its reach through new partnerships with leading two-step distributors, ensuring broader availability of its product lines—including Kinect™, SideLok™, SCAR and Stribog accessories, and Optic Hub™ solutions. These partnerships are strengthening supply chain efficiency while giving dealers more streamlined access to KDG's growing catalog.
As demand increases, KDG is reminding dealers who purchase through distribution channels to connect directly with the company to be added to its online Dealer Locator. This tool is designed to drive consumer traffic directly to authorized dealers, increasing visibility and supporting retail sell-through.
Looking ahead, KDG remains on track for an ambitious product development roadmap. The company has confirmed multiple new product releases scheduled across the next three quarters of 2026. These launches will continue to expand KDG's footprint in key categories, delivering innovative solutions that address evolving end-user needs while maintaining the brand's commitment to performance and quality.
"Our pipeline is strong, and we're excited about what's coming," Bardugone added. "The next three quarters will showcase the next phase of KDG innovation, and we're confident it will further solidify our position in the market."
