I figure they should announce another plant opening after this. as this is huge for one place to handle. fire 'em boys we are on our way. great job landing this one guys! This has to be one of the largest Worm casting sales ever recorded in Canada no? even if over a year period. these guys are leaders.
"After thoroughly evaluating Forterra's products," said Bruce Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hutcheson Sand & Mixes, "we are very confident that they will be a very sought-after addition to the high-quality products that we offer to golf-course superintendents and grounds managers in the golfing industry, in particular, as well as others in the Professional Sports Turf industry.
"Hutcheson is a market leader in the turf grass industry. Our non-calcareous sand and mix products are preferred by turf grass professionals because of their superior quality and consistency which provide an ideal root zone material for turf grass. We believe that incorporating Forterra's products in a mix enhances fertility in an environmentally friendly way by allowing nutrients in the soil to be more available to plants. It may also contribute to reducing existing environmental problems by reducing nutrient runoff, leaching, and waste. Using our new mixes will help professional turf managers control costs on fertility as well as protect neighboring lands," Mr. Smith continued.
"We look forward to working with Forterra in joint marketing programs at industry trade shows and through our other channels, as well as in the further development of products for the global turf-grass industry," Mr. Smith said.
