ASSOCIATE FOCUS: FISHER & SON COMPANY, INC.

With two warehouse/customer service centers, the Exton, Pennsylvania based organization serves customers throughout PA-NJ-DE-MD-VA-DC.

Established in 1928 as successor to Thomas, Haines and Company (founded in 1895) Fisher & Son Company originally operated in Malvern, PA as a flour and animal feed mill. As the surrounding rural, agricultural based Southeastern Pennsylvania economy and landscape transformed into a major East Coast residential and business corridor, the company adapted to meet the needs of the new markets created by this evolution.

From 1928 to 2006, Fisher & Son was headquartered in the quaint Philadelphia suburb of Malvern, PA. In 2007, the corporate headquarters were relocated to a larger, more contemporary office and warehouse facility in nearby Exton. Through the years, the company has grown from producing and supplying animal feeds to distributing a superior line of professional turf and horticultural products.

Now based in Exton, Pennsylvania, FSC offers a complete line of products that include turf seed, fertilizer, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, adjuvants, soil amendments, biological pest controls, soil testing services, ice melters and other products for the ‘Green Industry’ professional in golf, lawn care, landscape, sports turf, arboriculture and municipal property management professionals.
