Brett-Young Seeds Limited is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of Plant Science Inc. of Gormley, Ontario.
The combination of Plant Science’s innovation-driven fertilizer and control products business with BrettYoung represents another important step in BrettYoung’s plan to bring its customer-centered, solutions-based model to Ontario golf, turf and reclamation markets. This investment builds on BrettYoung’s 2015 acquisition of Master’s Turf Supply Ltd. and its recent investment in new warehousing and logistics facilities in Clifford, Ontario.
“We’re excited about what this means for our ability to better serve the needs of our customers in Ontario and beyond. It is another indication of our commitment to enabling our customers’ success” says Travis Unger, Vice President for BrettYoung’s Professional Turf and Reclamation business unit.
Rob Field, President of Plant Science, adds “The combined team from our two companies operating as one, with our collective portfolio of innovative solutions and a shared philosophy of building meaningful relationships with decision makers, represents an exciting opportunity for our customers.”
For the next several months both Plant Science and BrettYoung will continue to operate as they have in past and customers are invited to rely on their current sales representative to deliver the same outstanding products and service as previously. More information about the exciting integration of these two companies will be shared with our partners over the coming weeks and months.
