Zodiac® Pool Systems has expanded the company’s line of nicheless pool and spa illumination products with the acquisition of NextStep Products LLC.
NextStep Products will continue to operate as a stand-alone business under the Savi brand name, which includes light-emitting diode (LED) products for both underwater lighting and illuminated water features in residential and commercial applications.
Zodiac acquired the company to increase its support for the pool construction and renovation aftermarket. NextStep’s previous owner, Mark Masterman, will remain with Zodiac as director and general manager of the Savi line which will continue to be manufactured Orlando, Fla.
“This acquisition provides us the ability to introduce Savi lights to the worldwide swimming pool market in a very short time, which is something we never could have accomplished as an independent company,” said Masterman.
Zodiac’s managing director, America, Troy Franzen, added: “Savi has a wealth of intellectual property and 15 years of experience in developing an innovative product. We see this as a great way to expand our lighting product portfolio and as a way to better serve our builder clients and those dealers who are already loyal to the product line.”
