Fifty years ago, The Toro Company purchased a Riverside, California based company which manufactured plastic irrigation products.  That purchase proved a wise investment and gave Toro its start in the underground irrigation business.  Today, Toro is one of the leading manufacturers of irrigation products around the world.

The Toro Company owns over 225 irrigation patents and manufacturers a complete line of irrigation solutions including sprays, nozzles, rotors, valves, controllers, sensors, software, services and more. 

As Phil Burkart, vice president and general manager for Toro's Irrigation Business, said "Our 50 years in irrigation is something to be very proud of.  We are withstanding the test of time as well as pushing ourselves daily to be solution providers through innovation, constantly challening ourselves to eliminate waste and focus on quality, while growing and enhancing our customer relationships".

Though many things have changed over the last five decades, one thing has remained the same - Toro's unending passion to provide customers with high quality, innovative solutions.  That's why, even during economically uncertain times, Toro has continued to invest in a portfolio of Precision Irrigation products that upgrade existing systems to the latest, water-saving technology available.

We at Parkland, congratulate Toro for achieving 50 years in underground irrigation !
