Jacobsen signs national agreement with Avendra

Jacobsen signed a national account agreement with Avendra, allowing all U.S.-based Marriott properties to purchase Jacobsen equipment at exclusive member pricing.

Marriott currently has 18 properties with 24 golf course facilities in the U.S.

Avendra selected Jacobsen after the company spent several months testing and reviewing Jacobsen’s full line of turf maintenance equipment.

“We’re very excited to be working with Avendra and Marriott properties,” says David Withers, president and CEO of Jacobsen. “We look forward to helping Marriott properties throughout the U.S. present superior conditions for their customers.”

Avendra, headquartered in Rockville, Md., is North America’s leading procurement services provider serving the hospitality and lodging industries. Avendra customers gain access to contracts leveraging more than $4 billion of annual purchases, expert advisory services and in-depth purchasing data and analysis.
