In the heart of rural America, a farm boy named DeWane Benton Smith saw a problem… and imagined a better way.
In the late 1800s, farmers battled relentless insects that threatened their livelihoods. There was no simple solution—until D.B. Smith put his hands, his mind, and his heart to work.
In 1888, he invented the first compressed air sprayer—transforming agriculture forever.
From his fields in upstate New York, his idea spread—fast. Across the country. Around the world. A tool for farmers, homeowners, and professionals alike.
Today, SMITH® is the industry leader in liquid applicator technology—pushing boundaries with sprayers, foggers and lithium-ion powered innovations.
From agriculture to turf, from pest control to ice management—we build tools that work harder, last longer, and help our customers do more.
Owned and operated by The Fountainhead Group Inc., SMITH proudly designs, manufactures, sells, and supports every product with purpose.
This is SMITH®. Quality. Innovation. Results. Since 1888.
