Central Turf & Irrigation Supply, a North American wholesale distributor of irrigation, lighting, drainage, snow management and landscape supplies, opened its first commercial-focused branch in Bridgeport — Central’s fourth Connecticut location.
As one of the largest family-owned and -operated distributors of green industry supplies, the company said it is dedicated to supporting its customers with best-in-class products and services. With nearly 35,000 square feet of warehouse and yard space, the new commercial hub is focused on supplying customers in the northeast with in-stock, large-scale drainage, erosion control, landscape and turf supplies and snow management products.
Formerly Construction Materials Inc., the new location will offer industry professionals the services they need for their commercial projects, including a large selection of in-stock inventory and hundreds of leading manufacturer brands, according to the company. It also aims to provide expanded services such as same-day delivery, business and marketing resources and subject matter experts for on-site training and troubleshooting within the commercial projects space.
“The timing was right for Central to expand into Bridgeport, not just for the customers but for the industry,” said Bernardo Luciano, president of Central Turf & Irrigation Supply. “We started this company with our first branch in Connecticut almost 35 years ago, and this location will now be our 61st branch across the U.S. and Canada. We are always working on providing our customers with the services and products they need, and we saw a great need in this area to support contractors in the commercial space, especially with large-scale drainage, erosion control and landscape supplies. As a former contractor, I understand the importance of being able to get the products and help you need when you need it — no matter the job size.”
According to the company, Central continues its mission to be a steward to the green industry, focusing on and committing to partnerships, products, training and support services. The Bridgeport location aims to provide local green industry professionals with valuable resources for their business needs and access to Central’s philanthropic work and community-based initiatives.
