Two machine companies become one with the acquisition of Kase Horticulture of Whitney, Texas, by the young company STILT.PRO of Thomson, Georgia. STILT.PRO was founded by Tom Knuth in 2018 after his engineering stints with John Deere and Cirrus Aircraft.

The move integrates Kase’s line of horticulture bulk material handling equipment into STILT.PRO’s offerings, “enhancing its capacity to deliver mechanized and automated solutions that improve workforce efficiency in the horticulture industry,” (said the press release). Kase Horticulture dates back to 1982.

“This acquisition lets us better support our customers’ goals with a more complete product offering,” said Tom. “Kase Horticulture’s products and expertise align with our mission to provide mechanized and automated solutions that enhance operational efficiency in horticulture.” GT
