Rain Bird – The Leader in Automatic Irrigation
A pioneer in the industry since 1933, Rain Bird
Corporation is the largest manufacturer of
irrigation equipment in the world. The company
began when a citrus grower named Orton
Englehart invented a new sprinkler that was
more durable and efficient than other sprinklers
of his day. His neighbors, Clem and Mary La
Fetra, saw the potential of this invention and
began marketing it. Their initial manufacturing
operations in the family barn grew into today’ s
Rain Bird Corporation.
As the world’ s largest manufacturer of irrigation
products, we believe it is our responsibility to
develop technologies that use water efficiently.
Over the past seven decades, our pioneering
efforts have resulted in more than 130 patents.
From central control systems and automatic shutoff
devices to pressure regulating components
and low volume drip irrigation, Rain Bird
designs products that use water wisely. And
our commitment extends beyond products to
education, training and services for our industry
and our communities.
Rain Bird products keep life-giving water flowing
to sports fields, golf courses, botanical gardens,
sprawling amusement parks, campuses and
private homes in more than 130 countries.
Remaining true to our agricultural roots, we
are continually advancing the boundaries of
irrigation technology and providing products that
enable farmers and growers to feed the world.
