The company was founded in 1981 by Edwin J. Hunter and Paul M. Hunter, to produce a compact landscape sprinkler called the "PGP" (an acronym meaning "professional gear-driven pop-up"). The current president and CEO is Richard E. Hunter, Edwin’s son. Richard's son, Greg Hunter, is the Chief Operating Officer. Most of the Hunter family is actively involved in the company. In a bid to broaden their product offerings, Hunter purchased FX Lighting and Grizzle & Hunter (renamed Hunter Custom Molding) and has integrated it into their product offerings.
