That\u0092s evident from the challenges The Toro Company faced in the very beginning \u0096 and throughout its history. In Toro\u0092s first 30 years, the company\u0092s leaders navigated through the Great Depression and two world wars by staying true to the company\u0092s core principles and values \u0097a constant focus has driven the company\u0092s longevity ever since. Here are some of the strategies and principles that have contributed to Toro\u0092s success over its first 100 years:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Intense focus on solving customer problems, first and foremost.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hard-sell tactics have never been part of Toro\u0092s culture; it has always been about finding out what the customer needs, meeting those needs and providing exemplary service. In fact, Toro got its start in the golf industry by listening and solving problems. Our first two golf products (a fairway roller in 1918 and a fairway mower in 1919) came about as requests from golf clubs in Minneapolis. The staff at each club collaborated with Toro on a number of early products, offering input and helping to test equipment.<b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1862\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/toroadvantage.com-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x224-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1862\" src=\"https:\/\/toroadvantage.com-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x224-1.jpg\" alt=\"Toro\u0092s first motorized fairway mower (1919) was based on a farm tractor design.

It had a wooden frame and the cutting reels were steered with rope. Early prototypes like this started the golf industry\u0092s transformation from horse-drawn to mechanized equipment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Taking care of the customer after the sale.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>John Samuel Clapper, the company\u0092s co-founder and first president, thought that any manufacturer of a complicated piece of machinery should care more about that product <i>after<\/i> the sale than before. For the last century, Toro has done that in three key ways:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><b>Standing behind the product. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">In 1926, Toro became the first in the industry to appoint a golf course field service representative. Mungo Reid \u0093Scotty\u0094 McLaren, was charged with traveling the country to visit every golf course that had purchased Toro equipment at least once a year. At each stop, he inspected the equipment with the crew, helped them fix any problems and provided much appreciated training.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">That tradition of customer service continues today. In the words of a golf course superintendent in Scotland, Pennsylvania, \u0093I can tell anyone considering purchasing Toro equipment, you won&#8217;t go wrong. When I had a problem with my fairway unit, Toro took the high road, stood behind its product, and made me a loyal customer.\u0094<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1863\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/toroadvantage.com-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x333-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1863\" src=\"https:\/\/toroadvantage.com-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x333-2.jpg\" alt=\"Orville Clapper (front row, second from left \u0096 the youngest son of Toro\u0092s first president, John Samuel Clapper), T.L.

To this day, we stand behind all of our distributors with ongoing training, exceptional parts fill rates, sales and technical support, warranty coverage, and many other tools to help them provide the level of service our customers have come to know and trust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">As another loyal Toro customer in Boone, North Carolina, stated, \u0093It&#8217;s truly a blessing to have dependable equipment in combination with exemplary service.\u0094<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><b>Staying close to what\u0092s important to the customer.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Toro\u0092s third president, Ken Goit, once said, \u0093The success of this company is no secret. It has been due to two simple things: building a good product and treating customers honestly and fairly.\u0094 This fundamental approach has played a significant role in helping Toro achieve its100th anniversary, and provides the foundation for continued success into the company\u0092s next century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Every new product, feature and improvement we develop is driven by the need to make life easier and more productive for the people we serve. That attitude is reflected in comments from another superintendent in Warren, Pennsylvania, as posted on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toro.com\/leaderboard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Toro Leaderboard<\/span><\/a>: \u0093It is obvious that Toro has listened to customer wishes and needs, and delivered us into a new era of precision mowing with \u0091all the fixins\u0092!\u0094<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Providing exemplary expertise in sales and service, and unparalleled local support.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Another loyal golf customer in Mendham, New Jersey states that, \u0093The expert sales staff at my Toro distributor gives me product support whenever I need it. That&#8217;s why I love my Toro!\u0094<\/p>\n<p>The importance of local support permeates the fabric of The Toro Company, and can be traced back to Clapper\u0092s foresight and belief that Toro should have a network of distributors to provide the local, expert service golf courses need. The company set up its first distributor in 1922 and had 17 distributors by the end of 1925 \u0097 providing a big competitive advantage as it relates to serving golf courses around the country. Our distributor network, to this day, continues to play a vital role in our golf business, delivering local support our customers depend on. One of these distributorships are in their fourth generation with Toro.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1864\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1864\" src=\"https:\/\/toroadvantage.com-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x333-3.jpg\" alt=\"Toro\u0092s first manufacturer service representative, Scotty McLaren, traveled the country to visit every golf course with Toro equipment.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toroadvantage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x333-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.toroadvantage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x333-3-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.toroadvantage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Centennial_Story_500x333-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Toro\u0092s first manufacturer service representative, Scotty McLaren, traveled the country to visit every golf course with Toro equipment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Taking care of your employees.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Toro\u0092s focus on taking care of customers extends to their long history of taking care of employees. As Ken Melrose, Toro\u0092s eighth president, said, \u0093We believe the single most important factor that influences our success as a company is the Toro employee.\u0094<\/p>\n<p>Several of Toro\u0092s presidents were known for walking the plant to talk with workers regularly. They knew their employees\u0092 names and their families. An interesting example of how Toro stood out in support of employees was that during the Great Depression, while many companies simply let go of employees, The Toro Company opted to cut back hours instead of jobs to keep people earning paychecks. Even in those early years, company leaders knew and acted upon the belief that people were our greatest asset.<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Thanks to our customers for putting their trust in Toro!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Any company that lasts for a century must inevitably endure challenges, turning points and difficult economic times and learn from those experiences.
