United Turf Alliance (UTA) would like to announce the appointment of Nicholas Strain as its new Chief Executive Officer. Strain replaces George Furrer, who is now the General Manager of Valley Green, Inc.
“I’m eager to lead UTA as we continue growing the ArmorTech and Optimizer portfolios. With a clear commitment to turf and ornamental professionals, UTA is well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of the industry,” Strain said.
Strain has nearly 15 years of experience in the industry, including distributor and manufacturer sales positions along with leadership of the Turf and Ornamental division for Control Solutions, Inc.
