Smithco

At age 52,Ted Smith founded Smithco in 1967 in Wayne, Pa., and that same year launched the well-known Red Rider utility truck, a vehicle to transport people and walking greens mowers. Ted always respected the golf course superintendent and only produced products using their input. Smithco has grown through the years, adding factories in Kansas and Wisconsin, where they manufacture sprayers, sweepers, greens rollers, bunker rakes and athletic field groomers. Smithco continues running strong with Don Smith as president, Bill Kenney as vice president and 70+ dedicated sales, engineering and administrative staff.
