Strategic Moves Made to Accelerate Growth at Ditch Witch

Recent strategic actions made by Ditch Witch, a division of The Toro Co., support future growth in its core segments. The moves drive operational efficiencies and reinforce its position as the authority in the underground construction industry.

Focused on delivering solutions that align with the evolution of our targeted industries, The Toro Co. has completed the sale of the Trencor business. It also sold the auger boring product line of the American Augers business.

These actions allow Ditch Witch and American Augers to strengthen their focus on horizontal directional drilling (HDD). HDD is a rapidly growing segment of the underground construction market. This growth is supported by demand in the pipeline, water, and energy transmission sectors.

“These decisions reflect our vision and unwavering dedication to our customers and partners,” said Kevin Smith, vice president of Ditch Witch. “By streamlining our operations and focusing on the fastest-growing, most critical technologies, we are positioning Ditch Witch and our dealer network to continue to lead the industry for years to come.”

Under the Ditch Witch Division, American Augers will continue to design, manufacture, and distribute its line of horizontal directional drills, pumps, and fluid cleaning systems for complex infrastructure projects. As underground construction projects become more challenging, Ditch Witch’s renewed focus on HDD and trenchless technologies underscores its commitment to operational excellence. Moreover, they show their commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of contractors worldwide.

“Looking ahead, these strategic moves help strengthen our foundation and accelerate our ability to deliver the quality, innovative solutions our customers expect,” Smith added. “We are excited and ready to lead the next era of underground construction.”
