Kenilworth Media, Inc. has acquired two leading U.S. publications, Pool and Spa News (PSN) and Aquatics International, from Zonda, based in Newport Beach, Calif.

Pool and Spa News is widely recognized as the premier source for pool and spa professionals, providing product coverage, business insights, and award-winning design features.

Aquatics International is the only dedicated media brand serving professionals who manage, maintain, and operate commercial and recreational aquatic facilities worldwide.

“We are thrilled to welcome Pool and Spa News and Aquatics International into the Kenilworth portfolio,” says Erik Tolles, CEO of Kenilworth Media. “These titles align perfectly with our long-standing expertise in the pool industry, where for over 15 years we have published Pool & Spa Marketing and Piscines & Spas. I’ve spent many years of my own media career in this sector, and I’m especially excited to welcome industry veterans Joanne McClain, Rebecca Robledo, Gary Carr, and Lisa Heitner to our team. Readers and advertisers can expect the same trusted editorial leadership and service, with the added benefit of expanded resources across print, digital, and events.”

Jeff Meyers, CEO of Zonda, commented: “With its decades of experience in the pool market, Kenilworth is uniquely positioned to build on the legacy of these two brands. This is an exciting new chapter for both publications and for the industry.”

The acquisition strengthens Kenilworth Media’s presence in the North American pool and spa market, expanding its reach and reinforcing its commitment to delivering trusted, industry-leading content across multiple platforms.
