PROKOZ, Inc. and GreensPro reached an agreement for GreensPro to become the newest owner to join the family of companies.
PROKOZ is a cooperative group of independent distributors that are engaged in the sale of professional products in the turf and ornamental markets. PROKOZ owner companies work together on win-win opportunities with select supplier partners. Owners add value to the industry by representing best-in-class branded products, with local service, agronomical support and training.
GreensPro was founded by Mark Slaughter, Rich Carlson, Paul Hurst, Tyler Fishel and Jeff Baxter in 2010, and was established with the goal of becoming the leading source for turf products in the market. They work with golf course, lawn care and sports turf customers to develop customized programs and provide solutions.
“GreensPro aligns incredibly well with our values and helps strengthen our position in the Midwest professional turf markets by expanding our local relationships and expertise to the PROKOZ partnerships that we support,” PROKOZ president John Johnson said. “We look forward to working with our supplier partners and owner companies to continue to create value.”
GreensPro president Jeff Baxter added that, “When we talked with (vice president) Josh (Weeks) and John, we knew our business would fit well with PROKOZ and its family of companies. We look forward to working with them promoting brand and creating value for our market.”
