Design for Leisure (DFL) has revealed it will launch an associate wholesale business, called Spa Technology Professionals (SpaTecPro), in early 2018.

The global venture will focus on supplying professional spa and wellness technology to contractors and operators – as well as private customers.

As part of its services, SpaTecPro will launch a web-shop-style site, offering a wide range of equipment, spare parts and consumables from suppliers and product professionals, including Klafs, Lux Elements, Unbescheiden, Hygromatik and Warmzone.

“We’ve always created the latest and greatest new spas around the globe using cutting-edge products and technology," said a spokesperson for DFL.

“The launch of the associate business is a way of making our range of products available to buy.”

DFL is headed by CEO Don Genders, an industry veteran who is chair of the Global Wellness Institute’s Hydrothermal Initiative.

DFL has a presence in the European and North American wellness markets. Recent projects include providing consultancy services for the spa at the historic South Florida retreat, The Surf Club.
