ABOUT US

 

Our company was founded as Brendle Fire Equipment in 1960 by F. C. Brendle Sr. and his oldest son, Harold “Buddy” Brendle. Upon F.C.’s retirement in 1976, Brendle Fire Equipment was rearranged into two separate entities: Brendle Fire Equipment (fabrication) and Brendle Sprinkler Company (installation).

 

Brendle Fire Equipment supplies fire prevention system materials and piping fabrication. Following the retirement of Bill Brendle Sr., the company was sold to Tom Ward and currently belongs to Toby Edwards and Trey Ward. Brendle Fabrication continues to provide a great portion of the high quality materials used by Brendle Sprinkler Company.

 

Under the ownership of F.C. “Kit” Brendle Jr., Brendle Sprinkler Company, Inc. was immediately successful and has continued to be a leader in the fire protection sprinkler industry.  In January of 2024, Kit's son, Hunter, became President and Owner of Brendle Sprinkler Company, Inc. and continues to lead Brendle Sprinkler into further success. Hunter has achieved regional and national recognition for Brendle Sprinkler Company through the Alabama Fire Sprinkler Association and the American Fire Sprinkler Association where he currently serves on the Board of Directors representing the company well! Brendle Sprinkler Company proudly upholds a reputation for outstanding quality of work, fairness with customers, and honesty at all times.

 

“There are many people that have played a huge part in the success of these 60 years and I would like to thank them for helping us save lives and property all across the south. I am grateful for the trust and dedication that many have given to not only to my family, but our work family as well. We are honored to have had many employees serve with us 20, 30, 40, and even 50+ years. Brendle Sprinkler prides itself on maintaining family-like relationships with employees, contractors, owners, and any other affiliates that allows us to provide quality fire prevention sprinklers throughout the south.”
