Bernhard and Company announced a new partnership with Canadian distributor G.C. Duke Equipment LTD.
A family-run business based in the golf grounds maintenance business, 75-year-old G.C. Duke Equipment is headed by president Nolan Duke, who is following both his father and grandfather in driving the company.
G.C. Duke Equipment will be responsible for direct sales and customer relations within Ontario, Canada, and for demonstrating the knowledge and passion that Bernhard and Company possesses as part of its philosophy.
“We’re beyond ecstatic to be partnering with Bernhard and Company because we have a lot of customers who are really in love with Bernhard products, which is a great foundation for us,” Duke said. “This partnership is another arrow in the quiver for us to do business with virtually every golf course in our territory.”
“We are excited by the prospect of growing our presence in Canada, and are proud to add G.C. Duke Equipment to our network of world-class distributors who can deliver our industry-leading turf management solutions with efficiency and passion,” said Gary Ray, Bernhard’s North American business development manager.
G.C. Duke Equipment was founded in 1948. The company services customers within the golf, municipal, and landscape contractor markets.
