Growth through Acquisitions — A Learning Journey

Paced growth is an essential principle of successful Evergreen® businesses. While growth can be organic or accomplished through new ventures, some Evergreen companies will choose to grow through acquisition. Tom Rosztoczy, CEO of Stotz Equipment, has guided his Evergreen company to grow from three John Deere dealerships in Arizona to 25 stores in eight Western states over the past 20 years. In his presentation from the Tugboat Institute Summit 2018, Tom shares the key factors of that successful acquisition journey and the core values that are integrated into each new acquisition to continue to propel his Evergreen business forward.
