Company History
Bradley Corporation is celebrating our 85th Anniversary. This milestone is possible due to our many years of innovation, our superior sales rep force, our commitment to customers needs, and our vision for continued success. We encourage visitors to reminisce with us through the rich Bradley history outlined below.
In 1917, Harry Bradley (founder of Allen Bradley Corporation), sought a way to reduce the floor space required for a bank of sinks, and help workers wash their hands quicker so as not to waste all their break time standing in lines.
By 1918, "washfountain" prototypes were created which allowed multiple users to wash up quickly. The idea was so successful, Harry Bradley patented the concept in 1919.
When word spread of the revolutionary product, Bradley decided to sell the patent in order to concentrate on his own business. In 1920, The Bradley Washfountain Company opened for business with Gustav Grossenbach, Louis Schlesinger, and Howard A. Mullett as founding partners.
In 1927, Howard A. Mullett assumed the secretary role, and in 1928 became president of Bradley. After moving through the sales ranks, his son, Howard G. Mullett became president in 1953. By 1980,grandson Donald H. Mullett assumed the president’s role and today, is the company’s CEO. In the fourth Mullett generation, two of Don’s sons, Bryan and Erik hold key positions in the company.
The early circular washfountain, which sprayed water upward from the bottom of the bowl, was constructed as one piece. In addition to being sold for traditional industrial hand wash use, the fixtures were also used for flower planters, aquariums, rock terrariums, and even as fresh fruit produce displayers.
The first washfountains, were hand operated. In 1925 the first foot-operated models were introduced. This same year saw the introduction of the semi-circular washfountain.
Due to user complaints of getting soaked by water surges, the upward water discharge was redesigned in the early 1930s to feature a down pointing sprayhead. Management also designed a two piece bowl to make the product easier to ship and install.
In the company’s first year, 15 washfountains were sold. In 1922 the company sold 94 units. By 1989 the company was averaging 7,000 units annually. Today, Bradley annually sells more washfountains, showers, and accessories than the company did in all its first 50 years combined.
The products available at Bradley today are only now on the drawing boards of our competition. When it comes to Bradley plumbing fixtures and accessories, customers will find the best is yet to come. The products scheduled for release in the upcoming year will again set the pace for the industry and make it even easier for architects, engineers, catalog customers, and wholesalers to get the product that accentuates their project design.
