About Us

    SINCE 1869

    Way back in 1869, brothers Allen and Joseph Speakman opened up a modest plumbing workshop in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. With a pioneering spirit and an unwavering dedication to craft, the brothers would create the world’s first adjustable shower head, as well as earn over 100 patents for design and innovation.
