Runs one Sporting Goods segment under Escalade Sports, spanning archery, basketball goals, table tennis, billiards, pickleball, outdoor games, water sports and fitness. Sales flow mainly through U.S. retailers, specialty dealers and e-commerce, with acquisitions and brand integration shaping the portfolio.
Operates a single Sporting Goods segment through Escalade Sports, a manufacturer, importer and distributor of recreation brands. The portfolio includes archery labels such as Bear Archery and Gold Tip, basketball systems such as Goalrilla and Goalsetter, table-tennis brands STIGA and Ping-Pong, plus billiards, pickleball, darts, water sports, outdoor games, play systems and fitness products.
Sales are concentrated in retail, dealer and e-commerce channels, including sporting-goods retailers, specialty dealers, mass merchants, traditional department stores, direct-to-consumer e-commerce and a smaller international channel. The business has shifted over decades from footwear, toys and office products into sporting goods.
Execution relies on a decentralized operating model, product innovation, acquisition integration and capital allocation across brands. The portfolio also depends on demand across home-recreation categories and access to the retail and online channels that carry those brands.
