MOLINE, Ill. – Deere & Company announced Wednesday., Mar. 1 that the company has acquired Sunbelt Outdoor Products – a regional distributor of parts for all makes of outdoor power equipment.
Sunbelt is based in Charlotte, N.C., and currently distributes parts in the southeast U.S. However, Deere said its future plans are to expand Sunbelt’s operation to serve outdoor power equipment dealers throughout the entire U.S.
