HAWKINS INC

We are a leading water treatment and specialty ingredients company that formulates, manufactures, distributes, and blends products for our Water Treatment, Food and Health Sciences, and Industrial Solutions customers. We operate in three segments: Water Treatment, Food and Health Sciences, and Industrial Solutions. Our Water Treatment segment provides chemicals, filtration media and systems, equipment, services, and solutions for potable water, municipal and industrial wastewater, industrial process water, mainly non-residential swimming pool water, and agricultural water. This group treats systems from a single small well to a multi-million-gallon-per-day facility. Employees serve as route drivers, salespeople, and trained technicians, delivering products and diagnosing water treatment needs. They also sell and service equipment, including tanks, valves, and pumps, and offer filtration media and equipment. This includes short-term rental of filtration units and long-term design, engineering, and building of full-scale filtration systems. The Water Treatment Group operates from 53 warehouses in 28 states, primarily in the eastern two-thirds of the United States. Historically, this group experiences higher sales from April to September, mainly due to seasonal increases in chemicals used by municipal water treatment facilities and pools.
