New investment at SABO

PSD Groundscare welcomes the news that SABO, the German premium grounds care manufacturer, is to be acquired by technology company LDROBOT, subject to customary regulatory approvals and review procedures.

New investment at SABO

The proposed acquisition would unite more than 90 years of SABO engineering experience with LDROBOT’s expertise in sensor technology, artificial intelligence and intelligent systems.

For PSD Groundscare, the prospect of an innovative technology partner backing an established grounds care brand signals an exciting opportunity for future product development and growth.

The plans aim to combine SABO’s reputation for quality, durability and practical performance with additional technological expertise and development capabilities. This will give the manufacturer greater scope to develop new solutions while building on its established lawnmower and grounds care portfolio.

PSD Groundscare, Managing Director, Chris Gibson says:

“The planned acquisition isn’t a break from the past, but rather an evolution of a successful company. We understand that SABO will continue to operate as an independent brand and further expand its expertise in lawn and ground care, driven by the leadership of its existing management team

We believe that SABO’s high-quality standards, close cooperation and consistent focus on the needs of professional and private users alike will remain key pillars of the company’s strategy and we look forward to continuing the development of the SABO brand in the UK and Eire”.

SABO Managing Director, Lars Daniel explains that:

“For more than nine decades, SABO has stood for high-quality engineering and cutting-edge solutions in lawn and grounds care. With LDROBOT, we are gaining a partner that opens up additional technological opportunities while respecting our identity as a brand. Together, we are creating the conditions to serve our customers even better in the future”

For PSD Groundscare and its dealer network, the announcement adds momentum to an already exciting period for the development of the SABO brand in the UK and Eire. The prospect of further investment in innovation comes as PSD Groundscare prepares to introduce the new AUTONOMOUS SABO MOWiT PRO PREMIUM at SALTEX, bringing the brand’s latest professional grounds care solution to a UK industry audience.

The launch provides a timely opportunity for grounds professionals and dealers to see SABO’s continued product development first-hand and discuss its place in their operations and businesses.

PSD Groundscare will be exhibiting on stand E046 at SALTEX, where visitors can discover the new SABO MOWiT PRO PREMIUM and meet the team to discuss the full range of equipment from PSD.
