 The
company was founded in September 1969, when William Mouw, then acting general
manager of the Glamour Pool Company in Holland, Michigan, bought the first
factory franchise. Under its new name, Glamour Pools Swimming Pools of the Midwest, Inc. the
new company grew and prospered. Three years later Glamour Pools Swimming Pools of the Midwest
became an independent company and the name was changed to GPM Industries, Inc.
Recognizing the trend in leisure products, as in-ground swimming pools began to give way
to hot tubs, GPM introduced Great Lakes Spas™ in the early 1980’s. In 2001,
GPM broke ground on a new manufacturing facility in Holland, Michigan, allowing
the company to proceed with several manufacturing objectives, including a more
diverse product line in greater volume. In 2003 the company changed its name to
Great Lakes Home & Resort, to more accurately reflect the company’s
strategic plan to be the leading resource for home resort products.
In January 2007, Great Lakes was acquired by Emerald Spas out of Grand Rapids,
Michigan. This partnership will strengthen the offerings of both companies,
providing consumers with innovative design, top quality, and well-crafted,
American-made portable spas across essentially all price points, from
value-priced spas to made-to-order luxury spas. Each company will continue its
dedication to providing their dealers with innovative products and strong
marketing support. This transaction is going to bring together the resources,
tools and capabilities needed to aggressively grow both product lines.
