Watkins Manufacturing, a California-based hot tub manufacturer, has added to its product offerings with the acquisition of American Hydrotherapy Systems (AHS), manufacturer of rotationally-moulded hot tubs under the name Freeflow Spas.®
“This acquisition fits perfectly with our consumer strategy to deliver the right products to the right markets at the right prices,” said Watkins’ president, Steve Hammock. “We want our Watkins-brand retailers, whenever possible, to be a one-stop-shop in fulfilling the needs of today’s discriminating consumer.”
According to Hammock, by integrating these spas into their product line, consumers will be more likely to find the hot tub they want, whether they choose an entry-level model or a high-end spa. Over the next several quarters, AHS will transition to Watkins’ headquarters in Vista, Calif.
