CPI TO LAUNCH SPA CABINET PROGRAM


One of the biggest obstacles to spa manufacturers for getting into blow molded cabinetry (which is a higher-quality, maintenance-free alternative to extruded and wooden panels) is the cost associated with investing in their own molds.

Up until now, no one offered a blow-molded spa cabinet to anyone in the industry hoping to enter the market.

Confer Plastics is changing that and is sure to shake up -- even redefine -- the industry. On July 1st we will be launching a hot tub panel/corner program whereby we will be able to provide those critical components to OEMs.

Complete details regarding styles, colors, sizes, and prices will be issued in early July.

If you'd like to be notified when the time comes, please email sales manager Dennis Lederhouse at dennis@conferplastics.com
