Shaping the K&B Industry
of the future

KBGP was born out of a desire to help dealers to become successful by working smart and approaching change in a pro-active rather than a re-active way. Far from the old model buying group, we are constantly looking to the future. We provide education to our members so that they can stay ahead of the curve and become leaders-in-change. This, in turn, will provide them with tremendous opportunities to increase market share and be more profitable.

Our passion to help dealers become the top in their class drives us to constantly challenge ourselves to become a better resource for our members and our vendor partners.
