The J.R. Simplot Co. is expanding its turf and horticultural services in southwest Florida with the opening of a new location in the greater Fort Myers area. The company said it hopes to provide services for customers by mid-summer from the new location, eventually offering a full range of products and services for golf course superintendents, landscapers, and nursery managers.
“We look forward to our continued growth and maintain our commitment to providing insight and support to help customers meet their turf and horticulture goals,” said Barry MacBan, General Manager for Simplot Turf & Horticulture. “This location broadens our turf and horticulture reach, bringing more opportunity for success with products, services, and technological capabilities for customers.”
Simplot’s Turf & Horticulture team now has 26 locations in 38 states across the US. As part of the entrance into the Florida marketplace, Simplot announced that Andy Engelbrecht will be the new regional sales representative servicing the golf market in the Fort Myers region.
