Each October, the Green Industry makes its pilgrimage to Louisville, Kentucky for the GIE+EXPO trade show. It’s at GIE+EXPO that next year’s new products are revealed, so the show is highly anticipated among outdoor power equipment dealers and landscape professionals alike.
The 2015 show took place October 21-23, and show-goers were treated to virtually perfect fall weather, with high temps in the 70s during the day encouraging folks to get to the outdoor booths for hands-on equipment demos.
In-booth displays provided a unique perspective on the qualities that make Exmark mowers unique, such as the UltraCut Rear Discharge cutting deck on the 2016 Pioneer S-Series mower.
The new Exmark Spreader Sprayer was a popular stop for landscape professionals looking to work more efficiently and make more money.
One highlight of the outdoor Exmark booth was the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s mower roll-over safety display. It demonstrates the importance of proper deployment of the Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) in partnership with proper lap belt use in operator safety during a mower roll-over. Exmark has supported this industry-leading safety program since its inception.
Hundreds of folks packed into the indoor Exmark booth Thursday afternoon during the show. Each was hoping to hear their name drawn to win the Exmark Lazer Z commercial zero-turn riding mower we gave away.
