SOUTHAMPTON,
Pa. – May 6 -- Schiller Grounds Care, parent company of Little Wonder, BOB-CAT,
Classen, Mantis, Ryan and Steiner brand outdoor power equipment, has announced
that the company has entered into a supply agreement with Sound Manufacturing,
manufacturer of Monster brand truck loaders and collection dump systems. Under
the agreement, Sound Manufacturing, a sheet metal fabrication company located
in Old Saybrook, Conn., will manufacture these product lines exclusively for
Little Wonder.
Little
Wonder is a long standing brand within the green industry. Established in the
early 1900’s as the leader in the commercial hedge trimmer market, today Little
Wonder is an industry leading brand of landscaping and debris management
equipment with a broad product line that includes hedge trimmers, bed shapers,
brush cutters, edgers, wheeled blowers, leaf and debris vacuums and its own line
of compact through mid-size truck loaders.
The
agreement is a win/win for both companies. The strength of the Little Wonder
brand’s domestic and international distribution network will increase
production at the Sound Manufacturing facility. For the Little Wonder brand,
the addition of large higher horsepower truck loaders expands the brand’s
current line offerings and opens up a new product line in dump collection
systems to the landscaping, janitorial and industrial markets.
Pat
Cappucci, president and COO of Schiller Grounds Care, stated that as a result
of this new relationship with Sound Manufacturing, “We will effectively combine
the strength of Little Wonder as a leader in debris management products with
Monster Power Equipment, who has acquired the expertise of key talent from the
original Giant Vac company, a long-standing expert in truck loaders and large
debris loaders.”
“Essentially,
they get to focus on their expertise, while we focus on ours, which is bringing
the industry the best products possible in debris management for landscape,
asphalt and grounds care professionals. We are fully committed to the success
of our customers, and are confident that the combination of Monster with Little
Wonder will give them a line-up unmatched anywhere in the industry," said
Cappucci.
Kelli
Vallieres, President and CEO of Sound Manufacturing, agrees, “the Monster Power
Equipment team is excited to be combining the strengths of our truck loader
line-up together with the strong successful history of Little Wonder products.
Through this strategic relationship, leaf and debris customers will be provided
with quality products backed by industry leading customer service,” she stated.
