Charlotte, NC (February 9, 2011) For a second year Jacobsen, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, is participating in the International Golf Course Equipment Managers Association’s (IGCEMA) Virtual Trade Show, a three-day live event for suppliers, dealers and customers to gather for meaningful business development and relationship building.
Held in a specially designed Internet-enabled convention center, this the virtual show will provide a meeting place where suppliers and their customers can meet, learn and make buying decisions. And all without leaving their office.
Jacobsen supported the inaugural event last year and is one of the the first major exhibitors to sign up for this year’s event. They will have a 3D booth on the Trade Show floor to distribute product information, conduct meetings and engage in sales discussions with email and chat tools.
Showcasing on the booth will be the latest in greens mower technology, the Eclipse 322 riding mower featuring two unique hybrid power systems; diesel-electric and gas-electric along with an all-electric battery powered version. Whichever one is selected, they all have one thing in common; they are completely hydraulic-free. No hydraulic oil means absolutely no leaks and because the final drive for traction and reels is electric, they are considerably quieter than other greens mowers.
Chris Vernon, Jacobsen’s VP, Marketing and Product Management commented,
“We are pleased to continue our support for IGCEMA in this unique venture as it demonstrates that our industry embraces new technology to its fullest extent. Not just in the development of equipment, but also for interacting with customers. This year IGCEMA has the support of the GCSAA, which will provide greater marketing exposure and more visibility for the event.”
