Our History
Our story is about four generations of our family working in the family lawn sprinkler business. This extraordinary family history involving four generations is an important part of The Acme Systems Difference that sets us apart from other companies. The First Generation family member in our family business is Great Grandpa John Lynch (1914-1974), shown here with daughter Pat.

The Second Generation family member is irrigation pioneer Tom Laur, SR. who was born in 1933.

Third Generation family member Tom Laur, Jr. was born in 1955. Erika Laur, daughter of Tom Laur, Jr. was born in 1984. Erika is the Fourth Generation family member who works in the company.
