The Toro Co.'s product line added a new member late last week with the announcement that it had acquired the Graden greens roller product line. Terms on the deal were not disclosed.
The acquisition, which includes Graden's GSR 1200 roller, "fills an important product gap in our core golf business and helps further strengthen our offering in the greens care category," said Darren Redetzke, the vice president of Toro's commercial business. "Rolling greens has become an important agronomic practice for golf courses that improves the health and playability of the greens. By leveraging our brand strength and extensive global distribution, we are well positioned for growth in this new segment."
Graden's other turf maintenance product lines — zero-turn mowers, verticutters and sand injectors — were not included in this acquisition.
