BathCraft, Inc was formed in late 1986 by the
team of Lynwood Davis and Johnnie Hambrick in response to the
growing 
need of quality fiberglass bathing products for the Southeast’s
Plumbing Wholesale and manufactured housing industry.
Production began in January, 1987 with 13 craftsmen on board,.
Other expansion opportunities occurred in 1987 as
BathCraft began
production of a small line of acrylic tub/showers and whirlpools.
This expansion allowed BathCraft to
become
a major player in their
service area of Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina and the
eastern border of
Alabama. Employing over 180 employees, BathCraft
was well on their way to being a leader in the Gelcoat and Acrylic
fiberglass reinforced bath industry.
Jacuzzi Brands, Inc. took notice of BathCraft’s
success and acquired them in 1998. Now part of the expanding
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath family, BathCraft supports Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath’s efforts as a regional production facility. BathCraft
produces over 1,000 units per day, with a production staff of over
600 employees. The Lowndes/Valdosta Chamber of Commerce recognized
BathCraft as the 2004 Manufacturer of the Year.
From humble beginnings to a publicly held
corporation, Lynwood and Johnnie remain very involved in the day to
day operation of BathCraft. This consistency in management and
support from loyal employees is the winning formula for
the success
of BathCraft, Built by Craftsmen.
