Bernhard and Company names North American Distributor of the Year

Bernhard and Company has announced Beard Equipment as its Distributor of the Year for North America in 2024.

Beard Equipment has demonstrated exceptional growth over the past few years, expanding both in its original territory and within the recently acquired Greenville Turf territory. In 2023, they were a close second in North America for total machines ordered, but in 2024, they surpassed all competitors to claim the top spot.

“We are pleased to be recognizing Beard Equipment as our Distributor of the Year for North America,” managing director Steven Nixon said. “Their passion for our products, exceptional customer support, and commitment to our shared goals make them a truly invaluable partner that really sets the standard. Their performance in 2024 set a new benchmark, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership.”

Herman Bloch, vice president of the golf and turf division at Beard Equipment accepted the award at the 2025 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show.

“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition from Bernhard and Company. Our success is built on a shared commitment to delivering excellence, and we value the strong relationship we have with the Bernhard team,” Block said. “We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to provide our customers with the best solutions available.”
