As the number of skid-steer attachments available for landscape use continues climbing, manufacturers also look for new opportunities to operate for efficiently and strategically. That led the owners of Sweepster and FFC Attachments to announce their merger.
Presently, both companies continue operating under their own names, and a decision hasn’t been made as to whether or not there will be a new name for the combined organization, according to Pam Gruebnau of FFC.
Michael Spear, CEO and general manager of Sweepster, has assumed the position of president of the combined company while Charles Foster, formerly vice president and general manager of FFC will maintain that role for the new organization.
“The merger of Sweepster and FFC Attachments is a win-win situation,” explained Spear. “Each company brings a number of strengths to the merger that we believe will create an even stronger combined company.”
“Both Sweepster and FFC Attachments enjoy excellent brand recognition in their respective markets,” added Foster. “We plan to build on the strengths of both brands.”
Sweepster manufacturers a line of sweepers for all makes of commercial turf vehicles as well as a range of walk-behind and self-propelled sweepers. FFC produces three similar brooms in addition to its complete line of skid-steer attachments, including augers, power rakes, grading rakes and more.
