ANKENY, IA (September 28, 2022) – The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), the association representing shooting sports wholesalers, manufacturers, and their trade partners, is pleased to announce that Orchid will be sponsoring the NASGW Expo Appreciation Dinner on October 25th in Kansas City.

“Our industry’s distributors play a critical role in the firearm supply chain,” said Jon Rydberg, CEO of Orchid. “We’re proud to continue supporting both NASGW and NASGW SCOPE for their efforts in fulfilling demand while providing FFLs with critical analytics that improve inventory decisions. We look forward to interacting with the association and Expo attendees this October.”

Orchid's support of NASGW extends beyond the 2022 Expo. Orchid has partnered with NASGW to contribute data to SCOPE CLX, NASGW's retails sales analytics platform for the shooting sports industry. 

"Over the years Orchid has partnered with our organization in a variety of ways, most recently through SCOPE CLX and the 2022 NASGW Expo," said Kenyon Gleason, NASGW President. "We appreciate their support and continued partnership, and look forward to another great Expo Appreciation Dinner in Kansas City."

The NASGW Expo will be held on October 26 - October 28 at the KCCC (Kansas City Convention Center) in Kansas City, Missouri. The Expo is the premier event for shooting sports wholesalers and manufacturers to review current market conditions, forecast future sales, and plan for the upcoming year. The NASGW Expo is one of the most productive events within the shooting sports industry. It is a closed event for NASGW Members, creating a very productive business environment for Expo attendees. Exhibitors and attendees value the smaller, meeting-focused event that provides a one of a kind opportunity to connect with their partners in a short period, to plan for the year ahead.
