ALT’s New U.S. Manufacturing Hub: A Boon for Pool Industry Growth
Aquatic Leisure Technologies Group (ALT), a prominent name in advanced fiberglass swimming pool manufacturing, is set to establish its first U.S. base in Opp, Alabama. With the facility covering an expansive 56,000 square feet on 22 acres, ALT is poised to significantly enhance its production capabilities and service offerings in the American market. This strategic expansion aligns with ALT’s commitment to enhancing pool solutions and efficiency for pool owners, service professionals, and facility managers nationwide.
Aqua Technics Pools Makes U.S. Debut
The new Opp site will manufacture pools under the esteemed Aqua Technics Pools brand. Known globally for its cutting-edge design, technology, and performance, Aqua Technics Pools will now service the North American market directly from this new facility. The brand’s reputation as a leader in the swimming pool industry is solidified by accolades such as the SPASA Australian Business of the Year award.
Strengthening Local Economies and Workforce
Governor Kay Ivey expressed enthusiasm for ALT’s investment in Alabama, highlighting the benefits of job creation and economic stimulation in Covington County. This move not only brings manufacturing excellence to the U.S. but also reinforces Alabama’s position as a favorable destination for innovative businesses, contributing to local economic growth and offering quality employment opportunities.
Enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency
Since its initial entry into the U.S. market in 2018, ALT has been supplying its pool products from Australia. With the establishment of local production, ALT aims to streamline its supply chain, reduce delivery times, and provide more timely services to its expanding network of dealers and distributors across the United States. The Opp facility will play a crucial role in this enhanced operational strategy.
Commitment to Advanced Pool Technologies
The Opp, Alabama facility will produce Aqua Technics Pools using ALT’s patented PoolColourGuard® and Graphene Nano-Tech® technologies. These innovations ensure superior surface durability, color retention, and structural integrity—qualities that make Aqua Technics Pools leaders in the industry. Initial production is slated for early 2026, with ALT specialists from Australia overseeing the setup to maintain consistent global manufacturing standards.
Building a Legacy of Excellence
Lynley Papineau, President of ALT, emphasized the significance of this investment in American manufacturing. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, ALT is excited to offer more families across the U.S. the chance to experience their world-class pools for creating lasting memories.
