What Spraying Devices does

Spraying Devices Inc. (SDI) is a privately held US manufacturer of commercial-grade sprayers and spraying equipment, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Visalia, California in the San Joaquin Valley. The company designs and builds vehicle-mounted and trailer-mounted sprayers organized across five core product categories: Golf Course Sprayers (Optimum Series XD, VM, TW, and PG variants engineered with proprietary pin-mounting systems for Cushman, Jacobsen, John Deere ProGator, and Toro Workman turf utility vehicles), Pest Control Sprayers (PCO, Low Profile Skid, and CS models sized for pickups and cargo vans), Lawn/Landscape/Tree Sprayers (VM300 and Turf N' Tree reaching up to 800 psi and over 50 feet of vertical tree reach), Agricultural Equipment (3 Point, Inoculant Applicators, Poly Tank ATV/Skid), and Mixing Stations (Inject-A-Cure, Pit Stop, Cone Bottom Poly Tank). Underlying technology centers on custom-molded low-profile commercial-grade fiberglass spray tanks with color-matched gel coat and UV protection, stainless steel mechanical agitation using a patented self-lubricating tungsten carbide bearing assembly, Hydro-Mix Venturi-Jet hydraulic agitation, and a variety of pump and engine combinations; accessories integrate third-party precision systems such as the Arag Ninja GNSS nozzle control with 2-inch pass-to-pass accuracy and CAN-BUS data transfer.

SDI sells exclusively through a worldwide dealer network rather than direct, with dealers covering multi-state territories in the US and international markets; sales are supported by trade show presence (Golf Industry Show), a Constant Contact email newsletter, social media, downloadable PDF catalogs, and a dealer locator on the company website. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of complete sprayer units, replacement parts and accessories (booms, controls, hose reels, walking booms, trailer packages, GPS guidance), and custom-configured sprayers tailored to specific vehicle, tank, pump, and engine combinations. End customers are professional golf course superintendents, pest control operators, lawn/landscape/tree care professionals, agricultural users, and municipal water/irrigation treatment buyers. No financial figures are publicly disclosed, the company has no parent or subsidiaries, and ownership appears to be founder- or family-held with no venture capital or private equity investment identified in the source material.
