Charlotte, N.C.-based Husqvarna Forest & Garden Co. has acquired the turf-care manufaturer Yazoo/Kees, a Beatrice, Neb., manufacturer and distributor of landscape maintenance equipment.

"This acquisition creates a complete line of offerings, making Husqvarna a total source for all lawn-and-garden and commercial needs - everything from professional trimmers to commercial mowers," said David Zerfoss, president.

It plans to continue to market the Yazoo/Kees brand through its current and existing dealer and distributor network until June 2000.
