Ultra PRO Acquires Legion Supplies Brand of TableTop Gaming Accessories

LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra PRO International LLC ("Ultra PRO"), a California-based manufacturer of toys, board games, and accessories, has acquired Legion Supplies, Inc. ("Legion Supplies"), an innovator in the tabletop gaming space since its debut in 2009. Steve Port, Owner of Legion Supplies, states, "What prompted the launch 12 years ago was when, as a hobby store owner, I saw my customer's desire for art-based sleeves that represented them beyond the basic fantasy art that existed. From our first 'Bacon' art sleeves, we've tried to bring fun images to quality products that help players express their individuality." Legion Supplies began with trading card game accessories and in 2017 launched MTGproshop.com, which expanded their offerings into the lifestyle category giving fans of Magic: The Gathering a broad selection of apparel and decor based items.

Founded in 1952 and currently celebrating its 70th anniversary, Ultra PRO is a leader in the gaming industry. The acquisition of Legion Supplies reinforces Ultra PRO's strong ability to continue to bring high quality products to the collectibles and trading card games marketplace.

Steve further states, "I'm excited for the expanded capabilities Legion will have working with Ultra PRO's large chain of suppliers and expertise in areas that can only make Legion products better."

Jay Kuo, Ultra PRO's President says, "Legion Supplies is well known in the trading card game community and has developed a great niche business with a loyal following. We're excited to welcome Steve Port to the Ultra PRO management team, as well as the entirety of the Legion team to the Ultra PRO family and look forward to Steve's continued development of Legion Supplies' catalog and service offerings."

Ultra PRO has a strong history of USA-based manufacturing and this acquisition further expands those capabilities as Legion Supplies offers a wide range of product types produced in their Minnesota-based facilities.

Ultra PRO  looks forward to growing the business and bringing innovative gaming products to market for years to come. The new partnership will allow Ultra PRO to further expand distribution of the product assortment, create cross-selling opportunities and bring forth complementary line expansions that will be sought out by the gaming audience for  years to come.
