Spray Booth Manufacturer of the Year 2025! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone that voted for us, we are incredibly proud to be bringing the award back to the Rowley offices for a second time.

“We’re a family business at heart and our name is more than just what’s printed on every booth, it’s a promise.

A promise of quality, of care, and of the same values that have carried us since the very beginning.

Every booth that leaves our factory carries a little bit of who we are, and that’s something we never take for granted.

To our team, thank you. Your hard work, skill, and dedication make everything possible.

And to our customers, thank you for trusting the Rowley name.”

George Rowley - Managing Director
