NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation®, the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that Unified Industry has signed as sponsor of the 2018 Executive Management Seminar and as a Bronze sponsor of the 2018 SHOT Show University. Both educational forums take place on Monday, Jan. 22, the day before the 2018 SHOT Show® opens.

Founded by company CEO Kyle Wilson, Unified Industry is a B2B marketplace empowering retailers, manufacturers and brands to directly communicate and conduct business.

“We’re very excited to have Unified Industry join us as a sponsor for our two premier SHOT Show educational venues,” said John McNamara, NSSF Senior Director, Retailer Services. “This is a tremendous commitment to the viability of our retailers and the health of our industry, and we think that everyone attending these events will appreciate this firm’s insights.”

For most who follow SHOT Show news, this probably doesn’t mean much since United Industries is mostly something that would appeal to those on the retail end other than buying guns. However, it’s important to remember that the SHOT Show is a trade show, first and foremost. It’s for retailers, manufacturers, and those in the business of firearms.

Frankly, anything that improves the industry is ultimately a win for the Second Amendment community.
