Bear Irrigation, LLC. Acquires Golf Product Line from Weathermatic

Bear Irrigation, LLC is announcing the acquisition the Golf Products line from Weathermatic a Dallas based irrigation equipment manufacturer. Bear Irrigation, LLC is the all- new version of the original “Bear Irrigation” established in 1996 by Glen Grizzle, designer and builder of the legacy line of “Bear” Golf Irrigation products. Bear Irrigation, LLC is now owned and operated by original owner Glen Grizzle, original manufacturing arm Terry Voss, and irrigation industry veterans Fred & Trish March.

The Bear Golf Products Line is a well-known line of Golf Irrigation products that has been recognized and formerly branded as John Deere, Signature and most recently as Weathermatic.

Bear Irrigation is re-acquiring an industry standard brand with a long history and will allow them to capitalize on their strong manufacturing and marketing legacy. Managing Partner, Glen Grizzle states, “This acquisition is the homecoming of a product line that we developed, care about greatly and is deeply rooted in our core competencies. We envision significant opportunities to expand Bear’s presence with a strategic focus on solving the problems of the superintendents and their staff, servicing existing products across many common brands as well as new construction in both the Golf and Sports Turf Markets.” For Weathermatic, the sale represents a narrowing of focus and strategic opportunity for greater investment into intellectual property and market growth of the award winning SmartLink Network web -based control platform. According to Weathermatic CEO, Mike Mason, “This transaction is a true win-win for both organizations.

Bear Irrigation Products will include a complete line of golf rotor sprinklers, replacement golf rotor inserts for most popular name brands, as well as a complete line of hose end products designed specifically for the golf and sports turf market.
