Haws Corporation
Luther Haws was a self-employed master plumber and sheet metal contractor, as well as a sanitation inspector, for the city of Berkeley, California. In 1906, while on his rounds at a public school, Luther noticed children drinking from a shared tin cup. This unsanitary though typical arrangement inspired the inventor in him. Using available parts, Luther Haws assembled the world's first drinking faucet. Today Haws offers an extensive line of drinking fountains, water coolers and emergency equipment.
The Hydration Station from Haws provides clean drinking water in a hygenic manner for schools, offices, and municipal buildings
In 1996, Haws Corporation completed construction and moved into a new 210,000 square foot facility in Sparks, Nevada. Haws products are manufactured at this technologically advanced facility. From there, and from Haws' other manufacturing sites in Burgdorf, Switzerland, which serves the European market; Singapore, which serves the Asian market; and Sao Paulo, Brazil which serves the South American market, Haws' products are shipped worldwide.
All Haws drinking fountain and electric water cooler models are designed to be lead-free, environmentally safe and meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. In addition, Haws is a certified ISO 9001 company. Every product that leaves the Haws plant is of the highest quality and craftsmanship and is built for years of service.
