Cool!

Does that mean that the Coleman brand will fall under the Blue Falls Mfg. umbrella similiar to the way Caldera/Watkins and Sundance/Jacuzzi are structured?

The industry, as predicted by some, is certainly consolidating.

That is big news!

Isn't that more of a step backwards?  I thought that Maax supplied Coleman too, right?  Coleman makes a decent tub but IMHO it's not the 1st tier kinda tub I typically associate with Artic.  If they are partnering for a lower cost tub, I hoep they are also lowering the cost respectably co-measurant with the value.

LOL.  

We were supposed to do a simultaneous announcement, but theirs got picked up first.  It was neat doing a google every 10 minutes and watching as the story was picked up by CNW, CP, etc.

Please read http://www.arcticspas.com/index.php/en/custom_news/69/96/ for more details.
