The Aquatrols Company announced its new Sports Turf division to focus on the specific needs of sports turf management professionals, with future R&D efforts put toward developing products that specifically address the unique needs of sports turf managers and provide the best possible playability, player safety, and overall field aesthetics.
By focusing on solution-driven innovations and identifying product enhancements through cutting-edge research on soil hydration and nutrition, The Aquatrols Company is proud to support sports turf managers’ goals and continue to help shape and positively affect this industry.
With many sports turf managers already choosing products such as Zipline, Revolution, Vivax, In-Flow, Border 2.0, and Solarous for their playing fields by preference, it was an easy evolutionary choice for The Aquatrols Company to embrace and dedicate more research and support efforts to this market.
General Manager Erick Koskinen leads The Aquatrols Company with a “turf at heart” perspective. As a former golf course superintendent and a sales leader at both Precision Labs and the Aquatrols Company, he has a personal understanding of turf management challenges. Koskinen is committed to a long-term vision of supporting sports turf managers, and the distribution partners serving this market, through ongoing innovation and education efforts.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of this company and to help turf professionals more effectively manage their water inputs,” said Koskinen. “I remember what it was like to try to keep turf thriving during high stress and heavy play. It’s exciting to have an incredible team who are all committed to the success of today’s turf grass managers.”
Other key business unit leaders include:
- Greg Sinner – director of sports turf
- Ian Grove – territory manager for sports turf
- Christian Baldwin – global technical services manager
- Robert Wilson – portfolio development manager
- Kate Garassino – marketing manager, U.S.
