Profile Products acquires Dryject

BUFFALO GROVE, IL — Profile Products has acquired DryJect, manufacturer of the DryJect soil aerification system.

Profile previously announced a partnership with DryJect in March for soil aeration services. According to Profile, the outright purchase now was made for “mutual growth opportunities.” The purchase will combine DryJect’s technology and franchise service network with Profile’s agronomic expertise and distribution network into an integrated system of aeration and soil modification.

“As a result of this acquisition, superintendents and turf professionals will aerate more efficiently, which will make their greens more playable more quickly and will require less maintenance, resulting in fewer complaints from players,” said John Schoch, president of Profile Products.

The DryJect system uses water to fracture the soil while simultaneously injecting large volumes of dry material that allows fine turf surfaces to be usable and playable in one hour.

Former DryJect owners Peter Van Drumpt and Chris des Garennes remain with the business as employees of Profile. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
