Wesco Turf, Inc. was created in 1987 when William (Bill) Gamble III purchased Wesco Zaun from the Toro Company. Bill joined Wesco with a background in the hardware business, most recently as Vice President of sales and marketing, and part of the leveraged buyout group that bought McCulloch Chain Saw from Black and Decker. Prior to that Bill had a long career with Rockwell and Porter-Cable power tools.
Bill came to Wesco with a simple philosophy. "If you take care of your customers and associates, the business will take care of itself." Superior parts and customer service has been the hallmark of our company. We hire great people and put them in the right job. We manage to have some fun as well.
'Pride in excellence' summarizes our company culture. It sounds cliché until you learn that Wesco has won over 100 awards from our vendors, including 'distributor of excellence' from Toro four times. Our people want and expect to win. Wesco's business has evolved from a consumer product based business reliant on the power equipment dealer channel to one that is largely golf and grounds driven. The explosive home development growth in Southwest Florida over the past 20 years fueled an unprecedented number of golf courses being built. Wesco was in the right place at the right time... offering the right products and services.
