Rain Bird Appoints SGS as Golf Box Sales Distributor in Turkey
AZUSA, Calif., February 12, 2026 - Rain Bird is pleased to announce the appointment of SGS as an additional Box Sales Golf Distributor in Turkey, effective January 2026. This partnership is an important step in strengthening Rain Bird’s presence and support across the Turkish golf market.
“The extension of Rain Bird Golf distribution with SGS in Turkey will complement existing distributors to ensure the important Turkish golf market is well supported with enhanced skills and resources,” says Alastair Higgs, international sales manager for Europe. “Adding SGS’s experience to our network is very exciting, and we are eager to introduce further customers to Rain Bird Golf solutions together.”
This new addition gives Rain Bird a greater ability to support golf courses throughout Turkey with improved system coverage and enhanced box sales service. SGS will serve as another dedicated local reference for Rain Bird golf products, supporting customers with strong technical expertise and ongoing service support.
“SGS will operate with a team trained specifically on Rain Bird golf irrigation equipment, including rotors, valves, decoders, and satellite systems, that align with the irrigation systems currently installed in Turkey. This approach will implement faster response times, improved technical support, and long-term reliability for golf irrigation systems nationwide,” says Antonio Farina, golf area sales manager for Turkey.
SGS leadership also emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration and its long-term vision for the Turkish market. “This partnership represents a strategic step forward for Rain Bird Golf in Türkiye,” says Berk Arat, irrigation sales manager for SGS. “Our goal is simple: to represent Rain Bird in the field with the same strength, service quality, and reliability that made the brand a leader in landscaping—now also in golf.”
