PPL Aquatic Fitness & Spa Group Inc., recently celebrated 40 years in business at an open house and customer appreciation night at their new facility in Mississauga, Ont.

The company welcomed over 100 customers and suppliers to thank them for their support over the years and to help the company celebrate their success in the design, construction, service and staffing of commercial pool, spa and recreational facilities.

The event also gave PPL staff the opportunity to show off their facility on Matheson Blvd. E., which boasts 2,787 m2 (30,000 sf) of warehouse, showroom and office space. They were previously located in a smaller facility on Attwell Drive in nearby Rexdale.

Guests were given a tour of the facility, where PPL's numerous award plaques for facility design lined the walls and a 464-m2 (5,000-sf) showroom displayed the company's range of weightlifting and exercise equipment, commercial spas, swim spas and water massage beds.
