Two turf leaders pair up

Columbus, OH

Concluding what could be one of the largest mergers of its kind, The Anderson's, Inc. completed the acquisition of Scotts Company in a transaction that includes ProTurf®, Contec , PolyS® as well as customer lists, trademarks, patents, copyrights, and technologies associated with the professional turf market.

"The acquisition is another important step toward achieving our strategic goal of becoming the leader in the marketing, manufacturing, logistics and distribution of golf course and other professional turf products in the U.S.," said Rick Anderson, President of The Andersons' Processing Group. "It complements the recent expansion of our production facilities to include a presence in the eastern and southern portions of the U.S. And, we continue to seek an additional production site in the west and remain open to additional acquisition opportunities."

The pairing of the two turf industry leaders will offer golf course superintendents and other turf pros a comprehensive line of products in one complete product package.
