Senninger’s Mark Healy celebrates 55 years with the company and 55 years in the irrigation industry on August 15th.
A prolific engineer, Mark received the Irrigation Association’s Industry Achievement Award for “outstanding contributions to the development of the irrigation industry and the products” in 1994 along with his brother, Andy Healy.
Mark helped design the industry’s first in-line pressure regulator in 1966 and since followed with a long list of innovative products that have revolutionized how irrigation products are designed and manufactured.
His unique contributions include plastic sprinklers for center pivots (1971), the first six-degree “Wind fighter” center pivot sprinkler (1974), the first color-coded sprinkler nozzles (1970), Wobbler® technology (1978), Hydro Sprinkler Package Design Software (1980), the LEPA Quad Spray (1986), integral sprinkler weights (1999), thermoplastic gooseneck and truss rod hose sling (2002), the quick-change UP3 nozzle (2008), and the hand tight nozzle for impact sprinklers (2014).
Even after 55 years, Mark continues to contribute to the industry and is excited about a new sprinkler concept he is developing. We want to congratulate Mark Healy and say ‘thank you’ for his dedication to improving irrigation technology for farmers and irrigators worldwide.
