Grosman, Dicks join Arborjet technical team

Arborjet has announced the addition of two new team members.  Don Grosman, who has joined the company as Technology Advancement Manager and Trent Dicks, who will serve as Atlantic Regional Technical Manager, will support the company’s continued growth in the invasive pest management and plant health business across the country.  


Invasive pests such as the Emerald Ash Borer, Rugose Spiraling Whitefly, and Oak Wilt have devastated urban forests across the United States. Municipalities, landscape professionals and arborists look to Arborjet as the leader in tree trunk injection technology. These new team members are now in place to support the company’s growth and heighten awareness of the latest solutions available.


“We are extremely pleased to welcome both Don and Trent to Arborjet,” said Russ Davis, President and Chief Operating Officer. “The new ideas and extensive knowledge each brings to the company will help us reinforce our commitment to leading innovation and customer service. We plan to capitalize on their talents as we continue to build our business throughout the United States.”
