Jacobsen to Serve South Florida Customers Directly

January 15, 2015

Charlotte, N.C. (January 15, 2015) –Jacobsen, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, is now serving customers directly in South Florida.

This announcement comes after Jacobsen’s recent announcements of new direct operations in North and Central Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia and parts of West Virginia.

The company believes it can better support customers in these regions by servicing them directly. Jacobsen will be increasing stocking levels in these areas and adding additional sales and service staff.

Jacobsen will serve South Florida from two locations: one in Fort Myers and one in Boynton Beach. Both branches will be staffed by service technicians and equipped with fully-stocked parts departments for Jacobsen and allied equipment lines.

These changes come on the heels of Jacobsen recently establishing direct operations in the Western and Midwestern U.S., which has helped create success and stability for customers. 

“Much like the recently-announced direct operations in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, we believe we can better serve our customers in South Florida by serving them directly,” said Ric Stone, VP of Sales & Marketing for Jacobsen. “Our existing direct efforts in the West and Midwest U.S. have been very successful and we will leverage what we’ve learned in those areas to become the premier turf equipment dealer in South Florida.”
