I'm a little perplexed? You were expecting Remington or Ruger or just what big company to announce? Ruger has looked at it, as hinted at by David Fortier, but after their debacle with the 6.8 a couple years ago, I suspect that they are very gunshy right now about releasing niche cartridges.
The Grendel is growing, it just won't be a major that jumps on it right away. Considering how slowly the .30 Remington AR has grown, even when backed by a HUGE company, or how slowly their .450 has grown, the Grendel is doing VERY well.
The Grendel is very healthy and growing reasonably all the time. Just look at how many new members join here every week, and how many are new to the cartridge!
AA never has a booth at SHOT, but will at NRA, which is where they typically announce stuff. However, the Grendel is now SAAMI, so the push will come from other places.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
