Covia acquires Sidley Brands

Bestsand, a leading brand of performance aggregates for sports fields and golf courses, now includes Pro/Angle sand as part of its portfolio. Bestsand’s parent company, Covia, recently acquired R.W. Sidley Co.’s industrial mining division, including Pro/Angle.

Now professionals can compare and select from the familiar Bestsand portfolio or choose Pro/Angle for top-quality material and reliable supplies for topdressing, divot fill, bunkers or other needs.

“This is a win for superintendents, contractors and others who need the best bunker sands and other performance aggregates,” said Terry Gwinn, Bestsand’s sales manager at Covia.

Eric Ludewig, who joins the Bestsand team from Sidley as sales manager, said, “The resources and expertise Bestsand brings to Pro/Angle will increase production capability while maintaining unmatched quality and product performance.”
