Our History

HD Fowler Company has a storied history dating back to the early 1900s when it was established by the visionary Harold D. Fowler, affectionately known as “HD”

After World War II, HD’s son, Doyle Fowler, brought his talents to the company, focusing on developing the waterworks sales division.
