Hunter to buy Senninger Irrigation

Hunter Industries intends to buy Senninger Irrigation, and the manufacturers have entered into their due diligence phase. The due diligence phase is expected to be completed by mid-September.

The two companies have been strategic partners since 2004.

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

Senninger is a Clermont, Fla.-based agriculture irrigation manufacturer that makes pressure regulators for turf & landscape applications. Hunter, based in San Marcos, Calif., also manufactures irrigation products, as well as landscape lighting and other custom manufacturing sectors.

Joe Senninger started Senninger in 1963. His nephews Andy and Mark Healy joined him, respectively, in 1964 and 1965. The company has been a privately held corporation for more than five decades.
