Granum, the company behind LMN and Greenius, together with Weathermatic, a global producer of smart irrigation solutions, announced a new multi-year strategic partnership designed to elevate contractor performance through aligned leadership, workforce development and industry education.
Anchored by a shared commitment to empowering landscape companies through people, process and technology, the partnership brings together both organizations to deliver expanded value, training and thought leadership to contractors across North America.
As part of the partnership, a new irrigation learning path has been released in Greenius, a seven-course training series designed to strengthen crew competency in specialty irrigation services. Developed in response to rising demand from contractors, the new curriculum covers essential topics such as sprinklers, sensors, piping, pumps, water hammers, hydraulics and more. The training is immediately available to Greenius customers and will be featured throughout SmartCon as part of the workforce excellence track.
LMN will also serve as the Headline Partner of SmartCon for the next three years, marking a significant expansion of Granum’s involvement in one of the industry’s most influential events. Granum CEO Mark Sedgley will take the SmartCon main stage to speak on leadership, operational excellence and the evolving landscape of technology software in the green industry.
In addition, Greenius has been named the Official Workforce Training Partner of SmartCon, supporting Weathermatic’s mission to elevate workforce readiness and safety across irrigation and maintenance teams. Greenius will play a central role in advancing contractor education at the event through new training resources and dedicated leadership content.
“Weathermatic and Granum share a belief that contractors succeed when people, process and technology work together,” said Mark Sedgely, CEO of Granum. “This partnership is about uniting two organizations that care deeply about elevating the industry and giving contractors the tools they need to thrive.”
“Our mission has always been to empower landscape companies to operate with greater efficiency, sustainability and professional excellence,” said Lex Mason, president of Weathermatic. “Partnering with Granum, LMN and Greenius strengthens that mission and allows us to deliver even more value to the contractors we serve — especially those expanding or modernizing their workforce.”
Throughout 2026, the partnership will include:
- Co-developed education and workforce training initiatives.
- Expanded contractor resources across LMN, Greenius and Weathermatic channels.
- A unified commitment to supporting the next generation of leaders in irrigation and landscape management.
