This includes major parts such as fibreglass pool shells, solar heating, filters, and pumps, right down to smaller pipes and fittings. The company works hard to do their part in supporting the Australian market, and prizes quality and sustainability over cost-effectiveness when choosing their suppliers. Horizon Pools would like to thank one of their key business partners, Aqua Technics Pools, for their crucial contribution to the evolution of the business. Mr Cutugno shares his admiration for senior representatives of Aqua Technics, and his gratitude for their support. “Probably the biggest contributor to my business is Aqua Technics. I came to know them through a chance encounter with the late Ben Beale of Aqua Technics, Australia’s largest and leading fibreglass swimming pool manufacturer. Aqua Technics had developed a product called Pool ColourGuard, a technologically advanced gel coat system that guarantees the colour of the fibreglass pool. This system has revolutionised the industry and taken the Horizon Pools brand to new heights. Through this encounter I introduced the Aqua Technics product to the Victorian market, and later to the East Coast of Australia through the setup of a distribution network. We have challenged our peers and witnessed a remarkable growth within the business since working with Aqua Technics. Since Ben’s passing, I have continued to work closely with his family, and am astounded every day by the quality of their work. The company’s methodology aligns with Horizon Pools’ perfectly; they are all about the class of the finished product being the best it can be. Everything they do is next level when it comes to fibreglass technology and design. So, a huge thanks to them.” Horizon Pools is optimistic about the future of Australia’s swimming pool and spa industry. Mr. Cutugno says that continued technological advancement and innovation, a focus on great quality, and an increase in industry commitments to sustainability are all on the cards over the next half-decade, and that Horizon Pools is excited to be a contributor to the evolution of the industry.
