World-Leading Innovation Rooted in the Heartland of America
The Andersons began in the late 1940s in Maumee, Ohio, when Harold and Margaret Anderson started The Andersons Truck Terminal as a family partnership with their six children. What began as a grain terminal, built with nine truck bays for faster service to local farmers and rail transfer along the Maumee River, quickly grew into something more. Before long, a few of the Anderson brothers were behind the barn with a one-yard concrete mixer, the same kind they had used to build grain elevators, along with conveyor belts and scales, blending their own fertilizer. That hands-on operation laid the groundwork for what would become our professional turf business and, in 1964, our first plant dedicated to lawn fertilizer specialties.
Since then, our turf operations have expanded significantly to support an evolving turf industry. With a continued dedication to innovation and long-term investment in manufacturing, research, and product development, The Andersons has become a global leader in professional turf. This work has resulted in a broad portfolio of highperformance products, including fertilizers like Contec DG®, soil enhancers such as Humic DG™, control products including Goosegrass Crabgrass Control, and advanced application equipment like the SR2000® Pro spreader. Along the way, we have developed proprietary technologies, including DG Technology® and CarbonCoat®, to improve nutrient efficiency, consistency, and turf performance.
Today, The Andersons Pro Turf products are used across 19 countries and on many of the world’s most recognized golf courses and sports facilities. We are a team of turf enthusiasts who care deeply about the craft and about the people we serve. With in-house manufacturing, advanced R&D capabilities, and a technology-driven approach to product design, we continue to develop products that help turf professionals achieve stronger, more beautiful turf, world-class playing surfaces, and long-term performance.
