Aqua-Aid, Inc. has appointed Mark Langner, CGCS, as its new director of business development.

Langner has been the director of agronomy at FarmLinks Golf Club in Sylacauga, Ala., for the past 12 years. During his tenure at Farm Links, Mark has been involved in hosting more than 10,000 turf managers from around the U.S. as well as the world.

Langner appeared on the June 2012 cover of Golfdom, celebrating the 10th anniversary of FarmLinks, with FarmLinks founders Jimmy and David Pursell.

“Aqua-Aid has many moving parts, achieving tremendous growth over the past few years with our surfactants, Verde-Cal, and the Campey Imants line of equipment. Mark’s unique background and his experience managing a variety of grasses in a research surrounding will be a huge benefit to our distributors and end users around the world for all aspects of our business. We look forward to Mark utilizing his knowledge and experience to continue to grow our portfolio,” says Sam Green, chief operating officer (COO) of Aqua-Aid.

“I have been so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work for Pursell Farms. Having shared turfgrass management ideas/solutions with others in the industry while at Farm Links, I look forward to sharing my experiences and seeking solutions with turf managers in their environments,” adds Langner. “Aqua-Aid has delivered quality products to the turf industry for 30 years allowing turf managers to overcome obstacles and challenges with solutions based on agronomic soundness. My goal is to share these solutions for improved turf quality throughout the industry. The criteria I followed in this decision mirrored all my career paths to this point. The last three positions I have held have been for companies that shared a common belief in Jesus Christ, they were family owned and all of them were visionary and unique to the industry.”
