Advanced Turf Solutions expands into Michigan

Company acquires Tri-Turf.


Advanced Turf Solutions has announced the acquisition of Michigan distributor Tri-Turf. 

“For many years, Advanced Turf Solutions and Tri-Turf have enjoyed working together as partners in the United Turf Alliance,” said Alex Cannon, CEO of Advanced Turf Solutions. “It is our belief that increased service levels, a deeper product portfolio, and expanded resources will lead to market share growth in Michigan.” 

Tri-Turf has two Michigan locations in Traverse City and Grand Ledge. The acquisition will expand Advanced Turf’s service area to include Michigan in addition to its current 10-state territory, and all Advanced Turf Solutions core product lines and brands will be available to new customers.

“I will be retiring after leading Tri-Turf for over 36 years,” said Tom Reed, Sr., Tri-Turf President. “Our company culture is about selling with integrity and offering quality products and exceptional service. Advanced Turf Solutions shares these values.”

Tri-Turf’s existing team of support and sales staff will remain, and Robert Reed, Tri-Turf’s vice president, will run operations in Michigan under the Advanced Turf Solutions brand. 

The transaction is expected to close at the end of June.
