KDG is coming off another successful buy group event after wrapping up its first-ever Worldwide Buying Group show in Reno, Nevada, where the company connected with dealers from across the country, welcomed new accounts, and saw an overwhelmingly positive response to its growing lineup of new products.
The Reno event marked an important milestone for KDG as its first show since joining the Worldwide Buying Group family. Following a strong showing at the NBS Fall Semi-Annual Market in Oklahoma City, KDG carried that momentum into Reno and continued expanding its network of stocking dealers.
"We couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Worldwide," said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing at KDG. "The opportunity to meet so many dealers face-to-face, introduce them to KDG, and show them where we are taking the brand was incredibly valuable. We're excited to welcome the new dealers who came on board during the show and look forward to building those relationships well beyond Reno."
New KDG Dealers Coming to the Dealer Locator
KDG continues to make dealer growth a priority as the company expands its presence throughout the United States. All new dealers signed during the recent buy group shows will be added to the KDG Dealer Locator, giving consumers an easier way to find KDG products through stocking dealers in their area.
The continued expansion of KDG's dealer network is part of the company's broader strategy to make its products more accessible while supporting independent dealers, buy group members, distributors, and retail partners.
New KDG Products Generate Strong Response in Reno
KDG's newest products were among the major highlights of the Worldwide show, giving dealers the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest additions to the company's product portfolio.
The new BOM Series Optic Mount, including its initial ACRO-footprint configuration and compatibility with the Aimpoint COA, continued to generate significant interest following its debut at NBS. The BOM Series brings a new dual-height optic mounting platform to KDG's lineup and represents the beginning of a category that will continue to expand with additional optic footprints and mounting solutions.
KDG also showcased its latest rail solutions, including new products for the Grand Power Stribog 10mm and .45 ACP platforms and the upcoming Springfield Armory Kuna rail, continuing the company's history of developing purpose-built rail extensions and firearm accessories.
The response to the entire new-product lineup exceeded expectations, and KDG is already working aggressively to fulfill show orders while accelerating production wherever possible.
"Our goal now is simple: get these orders into dealers' hands as quickly as we can," Bardugone continued. "Our team is working hard on production and fulfillment, and we are pushing to beat several of the initial launch timelines we established. The dealer response at both NBS and Worldwide reinforced that there is real demand for what we are bringing to market."
