Lat 64 has the manufacturing plant: Dynamic, Westside, Kastaplat, and Discmania feed off the plant.
Curious.

This is eerily accurate.I'd expect the brands and sponsorships would stay the same - Trilogy players throw Trilogy, Kasta sponsored players might also be able to throw Trilogy, and DM only throwing DM.
Unified manufacturing, distribution, and management in order to reduce costs with the HoD HQ in Sweden. DM probably drops the Active line contract w/ Yikun.
U.S. distribution would use the DD HQ in Emporia to 'distribute' all the brands and sell Trilogy. Kasta to Discs Unlimited Wholesale by way of Emporia and DM in Colorado also probably receiving shipments by way of Emporia.
This is eerily accurate.
In related news, DD is laying off folks:
If they do, I hope one of the other companies takes over their top selling molds. I haven't found anything that feels like a Judge or an Escape yet.Well said, Sheep.
I'm wondering if there would ever be any chance of the umbrella company dropping DD all together. Not saying it will happen, but it's an interesting thought. The only US based company, clearly not doing well. Will we see DD go back to not making discs? Who knows.
I don't believe DD has ever made discs.Well said, Sheep.

Not in-house. They started as a disc stamp and disc golf apparel company and then started doing their own molds later. I think Latitude 64 has always made them.I don't believe DD has ever made discs.
Correct. DD was just a big DG store back in the day. Latitude was making discs around 2006-7 and DD subcontracted with them along with Westside around 2010 or so (these dates need some fact-checking, but they're directionally correct)Not in-house.

Probably just the normal distribution amongst non-urban young males.Another thread for another time, but as an old head, WTF happened there? Curious as to where that influx came from
