MAXIJET, INC.
DUNDEE, FLORIDA

Maxijet, Inc., started in 1981, is a well-known U.S. company that specializes in crafting high-quality irrigation products for small-scale use. The journey to its innovative water-saving technologies began with the Thayer family, starting when Tom Thayer came across micro-spray jet technology in South Africa at a citrus conference back in 1972. Samuel S. Thayer takes charge of this vision today, leading the company worldwide as an advocate for sustainable agriculture by helping farmers save water and improve plant health. Their reputation for pioneering work is best exemplified by the late '70s "Clip Stake" innovation, which transformed drip irrigation systems and significantly boosted industry growth. Maxijet's reach extends beyond farming; it serves commercial clients through its main brand while reaching individual gardeners via Mister Landscaper, Inc., their retail division known for top-notch irrigation tools that are both high-quality and user-friendly. The company's mission, 'Saving water for generations to come,' mirrors its dedication to sustainability. This commitment is deeply ingrained in the family-run operations started by T & S Groves. The lineage dates back to Sam and Tommy Thayer, continuing a legacy from their great grandparents who planted the first citrus grove in Florida over a century ago in 1910. Their production facility, located at P.O. Box 1849 in Dundee, FL, is home to a team passionate about delivering exceptional products and service. Aside from typical citrus farming, Maxijet delivers customized solutions for various crops like blueberries and peaches too, as Sam Thayer highlights the challenge of efficiently watering different types of plants. Their longstanding collaboration with Lowe's since 1992 emphasizes their strong retail presence. This partnership highlights their significant market impact, evidenced by twice being named Supplier of the Year by Lowe’s, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and dependability. With its blend of rich tradition and innovation, Maxijet leads in water conservation technology driven by family values and a deep mission to bolster agricultural sustainability.
