In the company’s own words

The company employs approximately 444 people as of December 31, 2025, with operations in the United States and Asia. Escalade manufactures certain products domestically while importing others from South America and Asia through contract manufacturers, with increased sourcing from Brazil, Vietnam, and Indonesia in recent years.
Escalade distributes products through major sporting goods retailers, specialty dealers, online retailers, direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels, traditional department stores, and mass merchants.
