Headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, Escalade, Incorporated operates in two business segments: sporting goods and office products.   Escalade and its predecessors have more than 75 years of manufacturing and selling experience in these two industries.   Escalade Sports manufactures and distributes widely recognized brands in family game room and outdoor sporting goods products through traditional department stores, mass merchandise retailers, and sporting goods specific retailers.   Operating as Martin Yale, the office products business has a worldwide presence with manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe along with sales offices in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, China, Italy, South Africa and Sweden.   Martin Yale products are sold throughout office products retailers, wholesalers and catalog distributors and include a variety of data shredding and paper handling equipment.

Escalade, like many companies with long histories of successful financial performance, was impacted by the sudden economic slowdown in 2008. As a result, Escalade engaged Periculum Capital Company to assist them in renegotiating the senior debt financing of the Company.   Periculum was successful in helping Escalade maintain a 30 year bank relationship with the Company’s lender with a financing structure that enables Escalade to continue to execute its business strategy.
