Senninger Irrigation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hunter Industries and manufacturer of irrigation products and services, based in Clermont, Florida.
Senninger Irrigation was founded in 1963 by Joe Senninger, a retired engineer and citrus grower living in Central Florida. The company was founded after Senninger created the first “insect-proof” sprinkler that would prevent mud dauber wasps from nesting in the nozzle orifices of overhead sprinklers when an irrigation system was not in operation. The wasps would clog sprinklers and impede water flow, causing difficulties for citrus farmers in the area.
Since its inception, Senninger has developed numerous irrigation products and established itself as one of the world's leading irrigation equipment manufacturers for the agricultural industry. The company currently operates in over 49 countries. The company has developed products that are now considered industry standards, including the first high quality in-line pressure regulator (1966); color-coded nozzles for easy size identification (1970); Wobbler Technology (1978); sprays with interchangeable deflector pads (1980); a four-mode LEPA (Low Energy Precision Application) Quad Spray (1986); the integral weight concept (1999); double goosenecks and truss rod hose slings (2002), as well as the UP3 Easy Clean Nozzle (2008). Senninger has also developed various software programs for the industry to aid in irrigation system design. These include WinSIPP, IrriMaker and IrriExpress.
The company has a warehouse in Lubbock, Texas and in Grand Island, Nebraska as well as a division in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It is primarily involved in the agriculture industry, but also creates products for the mining industry and the dairy industry.
In 2015, Senninger Irrigation's headquarters was designated as a Groundwater Guardian Green Site by The Groundwater Foundation in recognition of the company's groundwater and environmental stewardship. The Groundwater Foundation stated the company earned this exclusive designation based on its current practices related to water use, pesticide and fertilizer management, and pollution prevention.
On January 4, 2016 Senninger Irrigation was wholly acquired by California-based Hunter Industries. The two companies have been strategic partners since 2004.
