Jacobsen® Expands Distributors’ Regions in the United States
Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announces the expansion of sales-and-service regions for several authorized distributors of Jacobsen professional turf equipment. These expansions leverage the expertise and knowledge of existing Jacobsen distributors.
“The updated regions enable us to optimize and strengthen our ability to support the sales and service of Jacobsen equipment to golf and turf facilities across the United States,” said Michael R.
