HISTORY

WRIGHT RAIN WAS FOUNDED SOME 50 YEARS AGO, BY Mr. Jack Wright to supply irrigation equipment to the local agricultural industry and commenced manufacturing at his own Farm. Under Jack Wright's innovative and pioneering leadership, the company grew dramatically in the late 1950's, with the building of a specialist Factory on adjoining land. His factory was equipped with the latest manufacturing plant available at that time, for Foundry production of Aluminium & Bronze castings, Automatic turning machines for Sprinkler components & assembly. This was soon followed with a Test Station that could fully test all of its production under still air conditions, thus ensuring accurate water distribution from quality products, that became the hallmark of WRIGHT RAIN. We then installed P V C extrusion plants followed by Aluminium Seam Welding process lines, which enabled us to produce P V C pressure Pipes up-to 6" diameter for underground mains and Portable Aluminium Irrigation Tube up to 8" diameter. Tractor, Diesel & Electric driven Pumps were also designed and built in our factory at Ringwood.

From the early days we secured many large overseas contracts for design, manufacture and installation of IRRIGATION projects, which were undertaken in many developing countries, especially in sub- Sahara Africa.

Wright Rain has been a leader and one of the best known names in irrigation throughout the world since that time and was awarded the ROYAL WARRANT and achieved the QUEENS AWARD for EXPORT.

The company continued to develop in the 1970's & 80's with the acquisition of other important businesses - viz. British Overhead Irrigation, Farrow & Cameron.

The company now conducts business in four main sectors :-

U K Agricultural Clean and Waste Water Irrigation
Agricultural Irrigation Overseas
Industrial Environmental Dust Suppression & Water treatment.
International Irrigation and Agricultural Consultancy.

WRIGHT RAIN has it's own range of aluminium pipe and cast aluminium fittings, sprinklers, pumps and hose reel irrigation machines together with ranges of specialist drip irrigation, centre pivot and linear move irrigators.

The company carries out the major manufacturing work in the U K, Italy and Spain and has close associations with a number of companies throughout the World in order to compete effectively and competitively for International projects.
