Veseris Expands in Turf & Ornamental and Pool Supply with Acquisition

AUSTIN, Texas — Veseris, a distributor of pest control, turf & ornamental, public health, and vegetation management products, announced an expansion in the turf & ornamental, and pool supply markets through the acquisition of Tessman Seed Company and Lynde Company.

This acquisition marks a strategic milestone in Veseris’ mission to deliver unmatched value and service across its national network by expanding its expertise in these critical end markets, the company said.

“Partnering with Tessman and Lynde is a natural next step for Veseris,” said Ken Bradley, CEO of  Veseris. “They bring decades of expertise and strong customer and vendor relationships. We also feel a strong cultural alignment with Terry and his team and are excited to welcome them into the Veseris family. This move allows us to deliver more products, expertise, and innovative solutions to our growing customer base.”

For decades, The Tessman Company, headquartered in St. Paul, Minn., has been a trusted name in the turf & ornamental industry, serving lawn care and landscape professionals, nurseries, greenhouses, golf courses, municipalities, and many other customers, the company said. The Lynde Company has experience in pool chemicals and related products. Tessman and Lynde will continue to operate as they have, with day-to-day operations remaining business as usual during the transition.

Terry Reiten, President of The Tessman Company and The Lynde Company, said, “Joining Veseris is an incredible opportunity for Tessman and Lynde. With Veseris’ resources and complementary product offering, we can better serve our customers while maintaining the special relationships that have been key to our success. I look forward to continuing with the company and contributing to this exciting chapter.”
