Sun Gro adds production capacity

 Sun Gro Horticulture Canada Ltd. acquired all of the operating assets of Santa Maria , Calif. , horticulture growing mix producer Kellogg-Rich Grow for $900,000, along with current product inventory for $200,000. 

The transaction was one of Sun Gro’s two California acquisitions in January. Sun Gro also acquired all of the outstanding shares of Sacramento-based growing mix and bark producer Sun-Up Horticulture for $4.3 million.

The Kellogg-Rich Grow purchase adds a modern peat-mixing plant to Sun Gro’s North America-wide network of 20 production facilities, three of which were acquired as part of the earlier Sun-Up Horticulture transaction.
