Our next Major sponsor has also been on the Mower Day journey with us for a number of years...joining our Mower Day family as a Major sponsor in 2012 Action Equipment has been a great supporter with a great looking stand on the day!!
Action Equipment has been around since the mid-1980s when it opened its first Husqvarna dealership in Tauranga. The business has grown over the past 35+ years to its present four stores in Tauranga, Hamilton, Katikati and Te Puke. Action Equipment continues to add reputable brands to its stable, including Polaris ATVs and side-by-side offroad vehicles, local success story UBCO electric farm and road motorcycles, commercial-quality Walker zero-turn mowers, versatile Grillo all-terrain mowers, and several other well-known brands of lawnmowers and handheld outdoor power equipment.
