BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - The Toro Co. continued rounding out its product line with the December 2000 acquisition of Goossen Industries, Beatrice, Neb. The acquisition provides Toro with a line of debris management products, such as sweepers, vacuums, chippers and debris blowers.

Goossen's 64,000-square-foot Nebraska manufacturing plant is actually adjacent to the production facilities for Toro-owned Exmark Manufacturing, and the facility will now be used to expand Exmark's production capabilities.
