WOBURN, Mass., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Arborjet, Inc., a leader in plant health care, has acquired the remaining shares of Ecologel Solutions, LLC, effective December 31, 2024.

“By fully integrating Arborjet and Ecologel, we make it easier for customers to work with us—especially those purchasing products from both brands,” said President and CEO Russ Davis. “Together, we can create comprehensive programs that leverage the strengths of each product line, enhancing efficiency, customer support, and overall service quality.”

This unification reinforces Arborjet | Ecologel’s industry leadership, providing a comprehensive suite of plant and turf health solutions while expanding market reach. “Given the parallels between our strategies, philosophies, and markets, now is the right time to consolidate our leadership and provide one unified voice,” said Ecologel President Rick Irwin.

Established in the early 1990s, Ecologel transformed an industrial dust suppressant into Hydretain®, a revolutionary moisture management solution that remains its flagship product. The addition of Spindler’s BioPro line in 2008 further expanded Ecologel’s offerings, including micronutrients, biostimulants, and soil amendments. Today, the company serves the landscape, sports turf, nursery, and agriculture markets with environmentally friendly solutions.
