Excel Turf and Ornamental will serve the entire Upper Midwest green industry beginning this spring.
Founded by David J. Oberle, the distribution company is focused on helping both golf course and lawn care maintenance professionals meet today's challenges by providing products that benefit turf and ornamental plantings, as well as protecting the surrounding environment.
"Today, more than ever, green industry professionals are looking for ways to focus on the sustainability of the environment that they care for while also maintaining the standards that their profession requires to succeed – now and in the future," said Oberle, who has served the green industry for more than 20 years as product specialist, field sales and management with the Scotts Company and BASF.
In addition to meeting the need for specialty fertilizers, chemicals and organic alternatives, turf seed, and tools, Excel will also provide plant material through their Excel Gardens where they grow a variety of annual plants for the landscape to include both bedding plants and hanging baskets.
