Hunter Industries completed the purchase of Senninger Irrigation on Jan. 4. Senninger and Hunter have been strategic partners since 2004 through an OEM relationship, and the companies said they would combine earlier this year.

“Our history of success together as separate organizations provides a solid indicator of our positive future as a unified team,” said Senninger President James Burks. “We mutually respected and admired each other as reputable companies and felt if we came together, we could learn from each other, realize economies of scale and be stronger than if we operated separately.”

Hunter Industries is a California-based manufacturer of products for the irrigation, landscape lighting and custom manufacturing sectors. Senninger is a Florida-based irrigation manufacturer of sprinklers, spray nozzles, pressure regulators and other irrigation tools.

“Hunter and Senninger combine to create a very talented team of engineers and manufacturing professionals,” said Greg Hunter, CEO at Hunter. “We are very excited about working together with their teams to bring innovations to our shared channels.”
