Dr. Ben Wilson, President of Wilson Group Companies, recently announced the reorganization of United Fertilizer Technologies (UFT), manufacturers of the Protene brand of granular and liquid plant nutrition products, for the turf and landscaping industries.
UFT’s leadership team consists of Dr. Ben Wilson, David Barnes (Southeast Partners), Brian Smith (Arizona Sports Turf), and Ned Herod (formerly of Herod Seeds). Herod, UFT’s Sales and Marketing Director, said: “David's and Brian’s companies have been involved in test marketing and product development over the last couple of years and we can now use this experience to help develop a broader business base for the UFT and Protene brands across the country."
UFT will initially focus on marketing Protene, an innovative and proprietary line of specialty fertilizers. Protene defines itself by utilizing UFT homogenous granulation technology to provide controlled release nutrients from natural organic and synthetic sources. Key industry contacts and distribution channels will be established to assist in driving sales.
“I’m pleased to announce the development of this new team,” Wilson said. “We are excited about the opportunities ahead and about bringing product innovation and technology to the Green Industry. We feel our extensive in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities will be an important asset to our partners and customers.”
United Fertilizer Technologies and Protene products will be introduced at industry tradeshows throughout 2014.
