Asplundh Tree Expert Co., an international provider of vegetation management services to more than 3,000 utilities and municipalities, has named Husqvarna Group, the world’s largest producer of outdoor power products, as the exclusive provider of chainsaws and related accessories to Asplundh and its international subsidiaries.
The three-year contract with Husqvarna’s Professional division helps simplify the growing supply chain for Asplundh’s family of companies in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand and Australia. With more than 22,000 employees in its vegetation management operations worldwide, the volume of chainsaws in use every day is quite large.
In recent months, Husqvarna employees have been working both with Asplundh corporate and branch locations to demonstrate its chainsaw product line and assist with any questions workers may have during the transition. Besides Husqvarna chainsaws, the partnership also includes training, dedicated account coordination, technical after sales support and access to an online ordering and support portal. In addition, a certain amount of inventory is on hold to support quick deliveries.
Husqvarna offers a complete line of chainsaws designed to meet the specific needs of professional tree workers, loggers and skilled landowners. Each durable and reliable chainsaw is powered by a Husqvarna X-Torq engine, which delivers lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emission levels in accordance with the world´s most stringent environmental regulations.
