Aquatrols launches nonprofit, welcomes new hire

PAULSBORO, NJ – Aquatrols has launched a new non-profit organization and added a technology development manager.

The FairWays Foundation will help fund local and global projects, as well as educational events, that advance conservation and stewardship efforts within the turf industry.

Aquatrols President and CEO, Matthew Foster, also spoke at the events regarding how Aquatrols plans to put its conservation first mindset into action by pledging to commit a percentage of their revenue to help fund the foundation.

“Taking care of the environment shouldn’t be up to someone else,” Foster said. “And I believe Aquatrols can take a leadership position in making a difference in a way that goes beyond a conversation.”

The Foundation expects to begin accepting formal submissions for grants by the end of 2019. Those interested in the foundation can visit Thefairwaysfoundation.com for ongoing updates about the foundation.

Additionally, Casey McDonald will serve as the company’s technology development manager. McDonald comes to Aquatrols from Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, where he gained more than 20 years of experience in a variety of R&D positions within the corporation.

In his role at Aquatrols, McDonald will assist with the continuous research and development of new and existing products, as well as perform a multitude of other functions within the business’s R&D department. McDonald is the newest addition to the company’s renewed Research and Development team, led by Aquatrols R&D Director, Darryl Ramoutar.

“Casey’s extensive experience speaks to his passion for the industry,” says Darryl. “His deep knowledge of product development, project management, turfgrass science and global partnerships will enhance our mission of providing innovative and efficacious solutions to our customers.”
