The J.R. Simplot Co. reported that it has expanded its turf and horticulture services business with the acquisition of Illinois-based based Turf Ventures LLC and its four locations: Downers Grove, Ill., Warsaw, Ind., Erlanger, Ky., and Export, Penn.
“We are proud to welcome these employees to Simplot and look forward to continuing to help customers meet their turf and horticulture goals,” said Barry MacBan, General Manager for Simplot Turf & Horticulture. “These locations broaden our turf and horticulture reach, bringing more opportunity for growth in products, services, and technological capabilities for customers.”
These stores will join the Simplot Turf & Horticulture team, which now includes 25 locations in 37 states in the US. A full range of products and solutions will serve golf course superintendents, landscapers, and nursery managers.
“Joining an organization like Simplot Turf & Horticulture just made sense,” said Brian Baker, Turf Ventures owner. “They are committed to customers, agronomic expertise, and innovative solutions, just like our organization. Now, we have the full breadth of product lines and nationwide distribution that can really bring our customers the best outcomes for their turf operations.”
