In May of 1997 Matt Morse, founder and CEO, and his passion for the game of golf led him to begin doing business as Great Lakes Golf Course Products and commenced manufacturing in a small (750 sq. ft.) building in Nashotah, WI. Matt became aware that the golf courses he played had a need for more upscale, premium looking furnishings and by the end of the first year the company offered over fifty selections and outgrew its original facility.
At this time, most high end golf courses were using furnishings, signs, and course accessories that did not meet the standards of the course itself and were not in line with the course’s image. Great Lakes Golf Course Products had found a “niche” by manufacturing and supplying upscale, truly “green” site furnishings that were tailored and customized based on individual customer needs. All these furnishings were made of 97% pure, premium grade re-cycled plastic originating from discarded milk jugs.
In 2006, this visionary entrepreneur renamed the company The Prestwick Group, Inc. which is now located in a 60,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art building, located in Sussex, WI. The company currently employs over 75 people and has become a “family of brands” proudly manufactures premium quality and custom tailored outdoor furnishings to the golf, hospitality, corporate, healthcare, education, government and food service markets. It’s mission is to design and deliver earth friendly innovative products that will enhance the user’s property.
The Prestwick Group, Inc. family of brands includes The Prestwick Golf Group, Prestwick Limited, max.r and Nex.terra. The company has experienced fantastic growth over the first 15 years and in 2012 surpassed $100 million in sales. It has done business in all 50 states and 54 countries worldwide. The Prestwick Group, Inc. is committed to providing sustainable furnishing solutions to customers through its unique designs, innovation, and time-honored craftsmanship.
