Husqvarna Professional Products has announced it will be discontinuing the distribution of products under the Dixon brand name by the end of 2014 in North America.
Husqvarna will continue to process the Dixon warranty claims and provide service parts under the Dixon brand for an extended period of time.
The Dixon line of zero-turn mowers, walk-behind mowers and tractors will be discontinued, but the Husqvarna Group will continue to manufacture and market similar products under the current family of Husqvarna Group brands.
The company does not expect that the move will require any job cuts, and it’s not expected to have any noteworthy impact on Husqvarna Group’s financial position.
Dixon products have been sold through the distributor and dealer division, and all impacted partners have been notified of the change.
