GRIGG is a brand of BRANDT, Inc. that was originally founded by brothers, Mark and Gary Grigg. Before forming GRIGG, Mark Grigg spent years as a business owner and entrepreneur, and Gary Grigg spent over 45 years in golf course development and construction, turf grow-in and management. In 1995, they came together to develop and launch the GRIGG line of specialty nutrition products specifically designed for turfgrass.

Mark Grigg served as President of GRIGG, overseeing sales and operations. While Gary Grigg led the company’s turf research, product development, and agronomic practices. Gary holds a B.S. degree in Agriculture and Entomology from Utah State University and an M.S. degree in Agronomy from Michigan State University.

GRIGG products are sold through licensed distributors throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

In 2014, GRIGG was purchased by BRANDT, Inc. BRANDT is a leading manufacturer and distributor of premium fertilizers, bio-pesticides and adjuvant technologies for the ag, turf and ornamental market, and lawn and garden markets. The company boasts a wide range nutrient efficiency enhancement products and one of the largest portfolios of OMRI Listed products available on the market. BRANDT has four manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and manufacturing plants in Brazil, Spain, and Australia; as well as numerous warehouse locations.

In 2024, GRIGG expanded its nutrition line to include three products from BRANDT iHammer technologies: GRIGG MegAleX, GRIGG Advantage, and GRIGG Upplause Plus. Leadership in this domain is marked by the expertise of Mike McBride, President, who brings over 35 years of experience in the turf industry, and Dr. Arthur Nonomura, Chief Science Officer, renowned for his extensive research in plant health alongside the late Dr. Andrew A. Benson at the University of California. By marketing these products under the GRIGG brand, customers will now have access to new technologies and an integrated portfolio of BRANDT's premier turf offerings.
