Twenty-seven years ago, at a time in the industry when many people thought all new ideas had been exhausted and new companies were not needed, Weather-Tec Corporation was formed. Less than three months after formation in 1970, the first sprinklers were produced and the company was in full production in October of that year.

The initial product line consisted of four basic sprinklers, designed for use in agriculture. The dealer network existed primarily in California and the Pacific Northwest. Today, the firm manufactures, totally in America, a full line of irrigation equipment for not only agriculture, but golf, turf and landscape markets as well, with distribution and representation world-wide.

Engineering has always stressed durability, uniform water distribution and product innovation. Over the years these innovations have made good products even better. The stainless steel spindle has always been an exclusive feature of the Weather-Tec line of equipment. Its use will smooth the rotation, cause less drag, and significantly reduce the wear factors connected with other similar products on the market. Working directly in the field, the engineers developed sprinklers for use on nearly every crop grown. Every conceivable type of nozzle, lever, bearing and sprinkler angle was designed to deliver the most efficient application of water to the crop and produce maximum yields. This work proved to be invaluable for growers as they provide food and fiber for the people of the world. Most importantly, every product is individually water tested before shipment, a requirement of the company since its inception. In addition, Weather-Tec has been a subscriber to CIT (Center for Irrigation Technology) at California State University, Fresno, the industry recognized testing facility. CIT conducts all the performance testing to furnish an independent endorsement for the entire product line. CIT provides additional confidence in our products for our customers.

As the years have gone by, Weather-Tec continues in its quest to provide the best products to do the job. A recent example is the "Genesis" Series "G" agricultural sprinkler. Another example is the new "Alpha" Series Valve-in-Head rotor for use in golf and turf areas. Three other examples are a full line of drip/micro irrigation equipment with Spin Flow and Sand Media Filters and the "Omega" Central Computer Control System for all market segments.

In the future, our primary focus will continue to be on agri-business. We will continue to manufacture totally in the United States of America, improve existing products and to design and develop new products to maintain our position as the preferred choice of agriculture. We are proud of our history and look forward to the challenges that lie ahead as we deliver "Environmental Control Through Irrigation"
