Diamond Mowers Acquires Stump Grinding Product Manufacturer ArborWolf
Diamond Mowers LLC has purchased the ArborWolf brand skid-steer and tractor-mounted stump grinding product assets from Minnesota-based manufacturer WolfDesign. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Diamond Mowers will leverage its dealer network, comprised of more than 350 locations throughout the United States, Canada, Brazil and Australia, to distribute the stump-grinding products. Diamond Mowers will rebrand the ArborWolf stump grinders, and is expected to release products under the Diamond brand beginning in 2019.
“We believe ArborWolf has the best stump grinding products in the industry,” said Dave Ver Steeg, director of engineering at Diamond Mowers.
“We hear from people every day seeking reliable stump grinding products,” said Tim Kubista, vice president of sales and marketing. “We are excited to acquire a high-quality product that we can offer in response to this market demand.”
“By pairing this high-quality lineup of stump grinders with their strong dealer network, Diamond is positioned to dominate the skid-steer and tractor stump-grinding market,” said Mark Holman, co-CEO of WolfDesign.
Diamond Mowers said it will immediately support existing ArborWolf customers.
