A tradition of innovation since 1888.
You may not know our name, but you know our work. For more than 135 years, The Fountainhead Group has designed and manufactured the pump sprayers, foggers, and fire pumps that professionals and homeowners rely on, built and tested right here in the USA.
An American manufacturer, end to end.
We are a fourth-generation, family-run American manufacturer headquartered in New York Mills, New York. We do not just assemble products. We engineer, blow-mold, injection-mold, build, and test them across our own Central New York facilities, including a 200,000 square-foot Central Distribution Center in Frankfort, NY.
Our equipment is sold under our own brands, including Field King, Grab & Go, Indian Fire Pump, and Smith Performance Sprayers. We also build private-label products for some of the most recognized lawn, garden, and fire-suppression brands in the world. One vision has carried us the whole way: the best performance for your money.
More than a century of innovation.
From the first compressed-air sprayer to lithium-ion backpacks, our story is a string of category-defining introductions.
-
1888
The first compressed-air sprayer
We introduced the compressed-air sprayer and set out on a simple mission: build products that make people's work easier. It is the idea our company has been refining ever since.
-
1925
The Indian Fire Pump
The Indian Fire Pump earned its own name in the fire service and remains one of the most recognized tools in the wildland-fire arena, with its all-brass wand and dual stream-to-spray nozzle.
-
1986
Comfort by design
We kept rethinking the everyday sprayer, from pump action to ergonomics, so the tools were easier and more comfortable to use through a long day's work.
-
2008
Pump-N-Go and the modern lineup
A new generation of consumer sprayers brought genuine innovation to the home and garden aisle and broadened what a pump sprayer could do.
-
2014
The all-in-one nozzle
One nozzle, every pattern. We engineered out the guesswork so the right spray was always a twist away.
-
2015
Smith Performance Sprayers
We launched Smith Performance Sprayers, a professional-grade line built for the demands of contractors, applicators, and serious users.
-
2017
Lithium-ion goes to work
Battery-powered backpack sprayers brought consistent pressure without the pumping, a leap forward for anyone covering large areas.

Today
Growing, and still made here
We continue to expand, including our 200,000 square-foot Central Distribution Center in Frankfort, NY, and to manufacture for trusted licensed brands. The vision has not changed in 135 years: the best performance for your money.
The team behind the brands you trust.
Beyond our own brands, we are a manufacturing partner to leading names in lawn, garden, and fire suppression. With in-house blow molding, injection molding, engineering, and assembly under one roof, we take a product from concept to shelf, and stand behind it for the life of the equipment.
If you build for the outdoor, professional, or safety markets, we would like to hear about your product.
