Canadian-based waterpark manufacturer ProSlide Technology has opened up a new office in Shanghai to serve as an operations centre for its projects in the Asia-Pacific region.

Handling all aspects of project delivery, including project management, engineering and customer care, the center will complement ProSlide’s existing business development teams based in the region.

"When it comes to the development of waterparks here, the region is on fire." said Ron Chisholm, managing director of Asia Pacific Operations. "This Shanghai hub allows us to get even closer to our many customers in this area, respond more quickly to their needs and be more fully immersed in their success."

"This is the fastest growing waterpark attractions company in Asia," added Rick Hunter, ProSlide president and CEO. "We're invested in our customers' success on a personal level. Nothing feels better than delivering the world-class attractions they need to become world-class parks.”

ProSlide has a strong presence in the Asia-Pacific region, having previously worked on projects such as Beijing Happy Magic Waterpark in China; Ocean Park in Indonesia; Bukit Gambang & Ocean Splash in Malaysia; Adventure Cove Waterpark (Sentosa) and countless others.
