KUBOTA TEAMS UP WITH ECHO IN THE US Preferred supplier status granted to dealers
Kubota and ECHO have announced a Dealer Alliance in the US aimed at growing their combined sales within the professional turf and consumer lawn and garden markets.
As part of the alliance, ECHO and Shindaiwa will become the preferred brands of hand held outdoor power equipment within the Kubota dealer network. The alliance also names ECHO Bear Cat as a preferred brand of chippers, shredders, log splitters and wheeled trimmers within the Kubota dealer network.
According to Todd Stucke, Kubota Vice President of Agriculture and Turf Equipment in the US, the Kubota dealer network includes over 1,100 sales and service locations. “We are excited about the opportunity to bring ECHO, Shindaiwa and ECHO Bear Cat products into the Kubota dealer network,” says Stucke. “These brands are well known in the market and they allow Kubota dealers to position a complete line up of products to commercial landscapers and homeowners alike.”
ECHO's Mike Best says that the alliance is a natural fit for the two companies. He explains, “There is a tremendous amount of synergy between our companies and brands.”
