In the 1970's, Jack Corrigan was the owner of Carrot Top, a green grocer in Wilmette, Illinois. Like all other produce retailers, he hand-watered his produce. Jack Corrigan used his experience as a former civil engineer and began to tinker with a system that would water the produce automatically. It took several years to perfect the system, but he persevered. In 1979, Jack Corrigan the "father" of produce misting was granted the first patent for Fresh Produce Preservation. Jack and his son, J. Michael Corrigan, founded The Corrigan Corporation of America in Gurnee, Illinois and began selling the automatic misting system to supermarkets around the nation.

The early challenges began with water quality. In some areas, when they used the system, sediment and minerals in the water left spots and scaly residue. Corrigan's solution was a highly effective reverse osmosis system. Soon after, customizing water treatment and filtration for grocery store chains became our specialty. Corrigan's business expanded internationally, where the water quality differs from place to place. Because of this, we can say that we've solved just about every water problem there is. Today, Corrigan Corporation of America continues to be a leader in innovation, manufacturing, and service in the water treatment industry.

In the last few years, we extended our water treatment expertise to commercial and residential applications, with a great response. Recently, a new division was created to better focus on water treatment in these applications.
