Escalade Inc (NASDAQ: ESCA) is a sporting goods company that manufactures, imports, and distributes recreational and sports equipment under multiple owned brands. Revenue comes from transactional product sales across categories including archery, table tennis, billiards, basketball systems, pickleball, and playground equipment, sold through retail and distribution channels. Headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, Escalade operates as a single business segment, Escalade Sports, and traces its origins to predecessor companies founded in 1922 and 1927. The company has built its brand portfolio almost entirely through acquisition, adding Bear Archery (2003), Goalrilla (1999), Goalsetter (2015), and Onix Sports in pickleball (2015), among others. With more than 95 years of manufacturing and selling experience as of the FY2025 10-K filed 2026-02-27, Escalade competes across several distinct recreational product categories rather than concentrating in any single sport.
