Central Turf & Irrigation Supply, Elmsford, New York, acquired Irrigation Supply Inc., establishing Central’s expansion in Ohio via Irrigation Supply’s two locations in the Columbus and Cleveland areas.
The two newly remodeled Ohio locations in Warrensville Heights and Dublin will have expanded hours and be open six days a week in season. Customers will have access to more products and categories, a large selection of in-stock inventory and hundreds of manufacturer brands. New services will also be available, including same day delivery, business and marketing resources, and category subject matter experts for onsite training and troubleshooting.
“The timing was right for Central to acquire Irrigation Supply, not just for the customers but for the industry,” says Bob Hobar of Irrigation Supply. “The additional product and service offerings is a wonderful thing for our customers. Central will enable them to access everything they need for their businesses to be successful — products, training and business resources. Central will be their partner for success. The future is bright for the green industry in the state of Ohio.”
Hobar and partners purchased Irrigation Supply in 2003 from founder David Vanderwist. Irrigation Supply has served irrigation contractors in Cleveland and Columbus areas for more than 40 years, carrying professional products in irrigation, lighting and fountains/water gardens.
“As a family-owned and operated business, Central believes in strong partnerships to help our customers grow and be successful,” says Bernardo Luciano, president of Central Turf & Irrigation Supply. “That’s why we’re so excited to be able to serve and support new and existing customers in Ohio with solutions across irrigation, landscape, lighting, hardscape and more. As a former contractor, I understand the importance of being able to get the products and help you need, when you need it. This is why we continually focus on our combination of customer-centered solutions, fully stocked warehouses and one-stop shopping. We are thrilled to bring this approach to Ohio as we continue to increase our footprint in the Midwest and support the growth of the green industry.”
Central Turf continues its mission to be a steward to the green industry with its focus and commitment to landscape professionals through partnerships, training and support services. These two new Ohio locations will allow Central Turf to provide local green industry professionals with valuable resources for their business needs, while also continuing to maintain the important relationships built at the locations before the acquisition.
