Griffin Celebrates Its 75th Anniversary

Griffin marks special anniversary at Cultivate 2022

Columbus, OH -July 17, 2022 – Griffin, one of the largest horticultural brokers and suppliers in the United States, is celebrating a major milestone during Cultivate 2022. This year marks a very special year for Griffin. Griffin got started in 1947 by Charles J. Griffin, with headquarters in Tewksbury, MA. Griffin went from a one-man operation to one of the largest and most respected suppliers of horticultural products and services in the U.S.

“We are not only celebrating the future but celebrating the past,” said Craig Hyslip, COO of Griffin Greenhouse. “There are always lessons to be learned from the past and I think for Griffin it came down to two things. First, dream big! We made the dreams come true by turning them into goals and actionable strategies. Secondly, learn from mistakes and show resilience. We are looking forward to the future and what matters most now is what we do next now and for decades to come,” continued Mr. Hyslip.

Griffin recognizes that without a dedicated team and the support of customers and industry partners, that Griffin might still be that “one-man-operation.”  Griffin continues to be driven by the principles of the company’s founder who would always remind everyone that the products we sell could be purchased at many other companies, but we stand out because “what Griffin sells is quality and service.”

“Through organic growth and acquisitions, Griffin has strengthened the business, and in the process has become one of the largest horticultural suppliers in the U.S. and reached a level of expertise that meets our customers’ needs and drives business growth,” said Brian Sullivan, Director of Sales for Griffin Greenhouse.
