SiteOne Landscape Supply acquires Midwest-based Reinders
SiteOne Landscape Supply has acquired Reinders, a fifth-generation, family-owned distributor of irrigation, agronomics, landscape lighting and landscape supplies with 12 locations across Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Minnesota. With more than 150 years of industry leadership, Reinders is known for its technical expertise, rapid on-site diagnostics, tailored product recommendations and service from a team of highly trained professionals, according to SiteOne.
Together, the companies will build on Reinders’ trusted advisor role with customers, while expanding inventory depth, operational support and resources designed to help green industry professionals succeed.
“As a very successful fifth-generation, family-owned company, Reinders is well-known and respected in the green industry for quality and reliability, a commitment to exceptional customer service and for helping their customers succeed — values we share at SiteOne,” said Doug Black, chairman and CEO of SiteOne. “This acquisition expands our ability to offer the full line of landscape supplies to our combined customers, enhances our presence in the market and provides an avenue for further expansion in the growing Midwest market. We’re excited to welcome Ann Reinders and the talented Reinders team to the SiteOne family and look forward to working together to serve landscape professionals throughout the Midwest and beyond.”
Reinders evaluated multiple options for its future before choosing to partner with SiteOne, citing shared values, a focus on the green industry, strong resources and capabilities and a commitment to preserving its legacy. Reinders will continue operating under its established name, maintaining the customer relationships and service model that have defined the company for generations while still leveraging the full resources and capabilities of SiteOne.
“For more than 150 years, we have built a name, a brand and a legacy in the green industry,” said Ann Reinders, vice president of operations at Reinders, who will remain with the business following the acquisition. “While the Reinders family has led the company for five generations, it’s our incredible people who have built the brand. SiteOne is the best partner to continue to further the service excellence and quality products the green industry deserves. I look forward to leading Reinders into our next phase, strengthened by the infrastructure, leadership and people-focused approach SiteOne provides.”
“Joining SiteOne allows Reinders to leverage the strengths of both organizations to provide superior customer service well into the future,” said Craig Reinders, CEO of Reinders. Craig will move on to lead Spartan Turf Products, the Reinders family Toro distribution business. “The alignment between the core values of SiteOne and Reinders creates a powerful foundation, uniquely positioning Reinders to elevate the level of service and support its customers rely on — now and in the years ahead.”
Customers should continue working with their local Reinders teams as usual while the companies thoughtfully integrate over time.
