1928
In 1928, Tri-Con Sprayers was born. Tri-Con Sprayers was founded by the Hengesbach family in Euclid, OH. They started in a small building and were one of the first businesses to offer a 100% metal, multi-purpose water spray nozzle. The water spray nozzle has evolved some over the years and has inspired the creation of many of the industrial hose nozzles we offer today. Back then, everything was made in the U.S.A. To this day, all of our products at Tri-Con Sprayers are manufactured in the United States.
1932
By 1932, Tri-Con Sprayers had outgrown their small building in Euclid and the Hegesbach family relocated the business to Tungsten Road in Euclid. This is the location where industrial spray nozzles, water spray nozzles, and other accessories were manufactured for many years to come.
2003
Back in the spring of 2003, the Hengesbach family sold Tri-Con Sprayers to a company named Tungsten Capital Partners. Tungsten Capital Partners stayed in the current location until 2004 when they moved the business a few miles up the road to South Green Road in Euclid.
Additionally, in 2003, Tri-Con Sprayers moved production of industrial hose nozzles and all of our other products from in-house to reputable, local facilities in the Ohio area. Tri-Con Sprayer’s water spray nozzles and air blow nozzles are made in Warrensville Heights. Springs, D-clips, and trigger handles are all made in Cleveland. And all of our other products, parts, and tips are made in Wickliffe. Fear not, though. To this day, every order is hand-assembled and hand-tested before leaving the facility. Just because our processes have expanded some does not mean that we have sacrificed any of our quality or values in any way.
2007
In the fall of 2007, Conard Holdings LLC purchased Tri-Con Sprayers from Tungsten Capital Partners, turning Tri-Con Sprayers into a family-owned and operated business once again. Conrad Holdings LLC is still the current owner to this day. The Tri-Con Facility remained at this location for about five more years.
2012
2012 was the year when Tri-Con Sprayers relocated from its location in South Euclid to where it is today in Columbia Station, OH.
