OUR HERITAGEIn 2014, Globe celebrated 100 years

of continuous production of Globe

Sprinklers and Valves, longer than any

other sprinkler manufacturer. Charles

Garrett, of the Garrett Sprinkler

Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, began

production of the first Globe sprinkler

in 1914. Consolidating operations

with Merchant & Evans, Globe moved

its production to Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania in 1916. In 1975 the

company moved to its present

location in Standish, Michigan.

In 1988, Globe was purchased by

the late Robert C. Worthington, P.E.,

whose leadership instilled a sense

of pride and commitment to high-

quality U.S. produced products, a

family-friendly workplace rooted in

the community, and the philosophy

that long-term relationships are

the foundation of success in both

personal and business life.

GLOBE TODAYToday, under the stewardship of

Globe President Steven Worthington,

Globe has undergone vigorous

transformation in all aspects of the

organization: Operations, Technology,

and Service.
