Central Turf & Irrigation Supply adds new director

Central Turf & Irrigation Supply, a wholesale distributor of green industry and landscape supplies, hired Andrew McCormick as turf category chemical director. McCormick will continue the strategic growth for the chemical category set forth by his predecessor, Austin Marsteller, who was promoted to turf category business director in February.

“Ryan Batz, turf category fertilizer director, and I are excited to welcome Andrew McCormick to our turf category team,” Marsteller said. “We know he will bring the best products, resources and turf chemical knowledge to Central’s customers.”

McCormick has worked in the turfgrass industry for the past 27 years. He is a graduate of Ohio University (sport business) and Ohio State University (turfgrass management), and is a Class A member of the GCSAA. He has 14 years of experience in the superintendent side of the business with skills in warm season and cool season grasses. Before joining Central, McCormick spent the last 11 years in turf and ornamental Sales at the distributor level.

“We are always looking to bring quality members to our team so that we can meet and exceed the needs of our customers,” Central sales and marketing VP Anthony Luciano said. “I am confident that McCormick will help us do this. As we continue to grow the department and the resources available to our customers, it remains integral for us to have key hires in place across the entire turf category.”
