Central Turf & Irrigation adds new turf category chemical director

Central Turf & Irrigation Supply, a North American wholesale distributor of green industry and landscape supplies, has added Andrew McCormick to the team as turf category chemical director.

In this role, McCormick will continue the strategic growth for the chemical category set forth by his predecessor Austin Marsteller, who was promoted to turf category business director in February 2024.

“Ryan Batz, turf category fertilizer director, and I are excited to welcome Andrew McCormick to our turf category team,” says Austin Marsteller. “We know he will bring the best products, resources, and turf chemical knowledge to Central’s customers.”

McCormick has been a part of the turfgrass industry for the past 27 years. He is a graduate of Ohio University (Sport Business) and Ohio State University (Turfgrass Management) and is a Class A member of the GCSAA. He has 14 years of experience in the superintendent side of the business with skills in warm season and cool season grasses. Before joining Central, McCormick spent the last 11 years in turf & ornamental sales at the distributor level.

“We are always looking to bring quality members to our team so that we can meet and exceed the needs of our customers,” says Anthony Luciano, vice president of sales & marketing for Central Turf & Irrigation Supply. “I am confident that McCormick will help us do this. As we continue to grow the department and the resources available to our customers, it remains integral for us to have key hires in place across the entire turf category.”
