CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Husqvarna recently hosted a select group of 45 of its commercial customers for a four-day conference to address the latest trends and technological developments affecting the industry. 

“Our second annual Commercial Summit was a wonderful success,” says Walt Rose, national sales manager for commercial lawn, garden and tree care customers at Husqvarna North America. “Our products are designed for professionals, by professionals, so this event is the perfect venue to share our ideas and exchange feedback with our commercial customers about how we can best support their needs.”

Attendees participated in forums focused on sharing best practices as well as hands-on demonstrations of the latest technology with Husqvarna product experts. Key note speakers included a representative from Sebert Landscaping, who discussed their experience incorporating battery-powered outdoor power equipment into their business.
