A team of Husqvarna surface preparation sales and product management professionals competed in the first-ever Concrete Polishing Rodeo competition Jan. 22-23, hosted by Concrete Polishing Magazine.

Six equipment manufacturers competed in test exercises designed and developed by the CPM staff and judged by a panel of concrete polishing contractors. Husqvarna’s PG 820 planetary floor grinder won first place in the Large Platform Grinder Category, and Husqvarna won Best in Show honors.

“It is a great privilege to be given these honors and build our reputation in the concrete polishing industry,” said Jamie Krueger, Husqvarna product manager – surface preparation. “To know that our products meet the needs of contractors is such a reward. That is why Husqvarna is committed to developing products to do the job contractor’s need.”
