Turf Pride LLC has completed its purchase of Trion Lifts Inc., a manufacturer of lift equipment designed for the maintenance of turf equipment.Formerly based in Evans, Colorado, Trion began manufacturing lifts in 1991 and later added a line of workstation accessories. Operations have been moved to Turf Pride's home in Andalusia, Alabama.
"The completion of the sale is a significant milestone in our company's history. We enter this new phase of our growth and development with a product that has an excellent reputation in North America and many areas around the world," said Don Cotton, president of Turf Pride.
"Trion has been moved to our location in Alabama, our day?to?day operations will remain the same, and our dedication to providing our customers with products enabling them to make their jobs more productive. We will invest in our growth as a company for the benefit of our customers and employees. By incorporating the Trion Lift into our existing product line, it will enable us to significantly reduce the manufacturing cost and be more competitive with other makes and models of lifts."
Turf Pride manufactures products for professional turfgrass managers, such as deep tine aerators, core collectors, reel and bedknife sharpeners, de-thatchers, large area spreaders, bedknives, rollers and replacement parts.
