Ariens Co., established over 70 years ago, employs 900 people at its Brillion, Wis. location, and remains a leading manufacturer of outdoor power equipment for both commercial and residential use. The company’s premium brands include Ariens Sno-Thro® machines and Gravely® commercial lawn equipment for professional landscape contractors. Ariens affiliate, Stens Corp., supplies replacement parts to the outdoor power equipment industry.
Because both companies are so immersed in the green industry, the relationship carries a synergy that each business plans to build upon. “This partnership is so much more than a sponsorship,” Paluch says. “We’re thrilled to have Ariens’ support and participation behind our programming. And the Ariens team brings great industry knowledge that will enhance our offerings, making our events and training sessions even more valuable.”
Ariens Co. is looking forward to a long-term partnership with JP Horizons, which educates and develops green industry leaders. “We share much of the same business philosophy as JP Horizons,” says Ron Marcellus, director of national accounts. “Ariens is more than just another supplier to the green industry. We’re a partner focused on the long-term growth and success of the industry as a whole. Our commitment to the customer goes far beyond the products we manufacture. JP Horizons helps landscape companies grow closer to their customers. We also consider our customers to be our partners and we forge lasting commitments with them based on our quality and service.”
