Partnership advances Worksport's 2026 U.S. distribution expansion strategy, accelerating velocity and building recurring revenue from high-volume accounts.

WEST SENECA, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 29, 2026 / Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKSP) ("Worksport" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based innovator and manufacturer of hybrid and clean energy solutions primarily for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods markets, today announced that it has secured Tri-State Enterprises, Inc. ("Tri-State") as a new cross-regional distribution partner for Worksport's growing tonneau cover lineup, including the Company's recently launched Nexus cover.

Last week, the Company received two initial purchase orders with a broad spectrum of SKUs and quantity, with another order anticipated in the coming days tied to near-term sales activity. This early traction reflects immediate demand following onboarding and signals strong momentum as Worksport expands its U.S. distribution footprint.

Projected Account Growth

Worksport projects the new Tri-State account to generate seven-figure revenue in the near term, with the potential to evolve into a recurring multi-million-dollar contributor to net sales growth. This outlook is supported by expanding product availability, increasing customer adoption, and deeper penetration of Worksport's premium tonneau cover lineup across Tri-State's distribution footprint.

Tri-State is a family-operated automotive aftermarket distributor headquartered in Fort Smith, Arkansas, with locations across Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. The company operates approximately one million square feet of warehouse space and is a member of both the Pronto Network and The AAM Group. Tri-State maintains a strong service advantage across its regions, offering "same-day" delivery to select locations within its network of thousands of wholesale customers - a key capability that may position Worksport to access just-in-time demand across key markets. Truck bed covers are among Tri-State's top product categories, making this relationship a highly aligned and strategic addition to Worksport's expanding dealer and distributor network.

Big Money Show Accelerates Nexus Exposure

On April 25, 2026, Worksport attended Tri-State's Big Money Show to introduce its product lineup directly to a broader customer base, with particular focus on Worksport's Nexus tonneau cover, following its recent commercial launch. Nexus is designed to address a key market gap in premium hard folding tonneau covers by offering a proprietary single-side opening system, allowing users to operate the cover from either side of the truck. This cover continues to gain significant traction and was a contributing factor to landing the Tri-State account.

The Company believes this direct selling event provided both near-term revenue opportunity and meaningful brand exposure among active aftermarket buyers. Worksport views the event as an important step in accelerating Nexus adoption through distribution and professional aftermarket channels.

Strategic Distribution Expansion

This new relationship supports Worksport's broader 2026 strategy to expand its U.S. dealer and distributor network, increase sell-through velocity, and build recurring revenue from high-volume regional accounts.

The Company believes Tri-State's established customer relationships, warehouse capacity, and strong presence in the South and Central U.S. create a scalable distribution channel for Worksport's tonneau cover portfolio. As Worksport continues ramping production and widening availability of its recently launched products, management expects distributor-led sales to play an increasingly important role in achieving its 2026 revenue objectives.
