Wesco Turf acquires Hector Turf

Wesco Turf, a distributor of irrigation and grounds equipment for The Toro Company, announced the acquisition of Hector Turf, another Toro distributor.

“We are excited to welcome Hector Turf into Wesco’s corporate portfolio. Hector Turf has strong brand equity and market-leading share across key business categories in south Florida and the Caribbean. Former principal of Hector Turf Jim Mantey left behind an impressive legacy that will live on through this merger of outdoor power equipment equals,” Billy Gamble, president of Wesco Turf, said.

Hector Turf’s 50-plus associates will join Wesco Turf. The two companies will market under two brands: Wesco Turf in central/north Florida and southern Georgia and Hector Turf in south Florida.

“We are a natural fit for Wesco Turf, two strong family-owned and operated businesses. I believe the Mantey family legacy will continue and be greatly enhanced under Billy Gamble’s leadership. I expect this merger to be seamless for our customers,” Sandra Mantey, co-principal and president of Hector Turf, said.
