Turning extrusion challenges into production advantages
Insights from Canada’s pool manufacturing leader
To keep pace with a seasonal market where every spring brings hard deadlines, Trevi Fabrication needed an extrusion partner that could develop new profiles quickly, adjust production on short notice, and commit for the long term.
What this case reveals goes beyond pool components: it's a blueprint for how agile development, production flexibility, and a collaboration built season after season translate into a partnership manufacturers can rely on.
The need:an agile partner to keep pace with the pool season
Trevi Fabrication wanted to speed up development of its above-ground pool components and work with a supplier able to adapt as quickly as its order book.
Trevi required a partner who could provide:
- Product and tooling development for its extruded components, including flat V-snap coping, posts, and other semi-rigid pool liner extrusions.
- Flexibility to scale and adjust production in line with demand cycles, from winter pre-season builds to the spring pool-opening rush.
- Expertise in color matching, texture, and semi-rigid materials for visible components exposed to sun, freeze-thaw cycles, and treated water.
