Fluidra Australia Acquires Fabtronics
The global leader in the pool and wellness equipment market acquires the Australian electronics designer and manufacturer.
Fluidra, the global leader in the pool and wellness equipment business, has acquired Australian manufacturer Fabtronics to strengthen its R&D capabilities and to incorporate complete, efficient and cost-effective electronics design and manufacturing solutions.
Fabtronics was established in 2003 by Rod Briggs and Frank Harris to provide complete, efficient and cost effective electronics manufacturing solutions, and local R&D support to Australian businesses.
In the past 15 years, Fabtronics provided research and development support to Fluidra’s Australian business and played a key role in many significant products, establishing itself as one of the leading electronic designers in the country.
Many of Fluidra’s products designed and manufactured in Australia, like the swimming pool filtration pumps Viron and EQ chlorinators, which Fabtronics assisted in designing and developing, have gone on to be sold throughout the world via Fluidra’s global network.
This acquisition will help to accelerate innovation in the pool and spa industry.
