Toro Acquires Lawn Solutions
The Toro Company announced the acquisition of Lawn Solutions Commercial Products, Inc.
Louisville, Kentucky-based Lawn Solutions makes
- aerators for landscapers and companies that rent them out
- seeders
- power rakes
- brush cutters
All of which are new categories for Bloomington-based Toro.
Toro will sell Lawn Solutions’ products to the golf, municipal, landscape, and rental markets in which it already competes. This will increase the company’s overall market strength, according to company spokesman Branden Happel.
“Turf renovation is a natural category for Toro having built our company around turf maintenance for almost 100 years,” Michael Drazan, vice president of Toro’s contractor business, said in a statement.
