Explore Industries: Leading the Way Among Swimming Pool Manufacturers

Explore Industries: Leading the Way Among Swimming Pool Manufacturers

A Rich History of Innovation and Excellence

Founded in 2000 on Australia’s Gold Coast with a vision to deliver premium fiberglass swimming pools that exceeded industry norms, David Pain, Explore’s Global CEO, and his father, Kerry Pain, Global Chairman, built their first fiberglass pool molds, started business as Leisure Pools, and established their first Dealer Network. As demand increased, the team relocated production to a larger facility in Yatala, Queensland (Australia) in 2003, then began international exports to North America in 2004.

The following years brought increased growth and new pool brand introductions, as well as expansions across Australasia and Europe, culminating in the establishment of the world’s largest fiberglass swimming pool manufacturing facility, situated on 84 acres on a beautiful island in Knoxville, Tennessee. Since then, the growing portfolio consolidated under a new brand, Explore Industries, capturing its expansive global vision and positioning the company to better serve its growing Dealer Network for years to come.

Explore Industries is driven by a passion for delivering high-quality fiberglass pools, spas, covers, equipment, and services that help build a lifetime of backyard memories with family and friends. We manufacture the highest quality fiberglass swimming pools on the market, and today, we are proud to serve customers in 23 countries, with over 2,000 independent Dealers and more than 100,000+ pool installations worldwide.

Explore Industries’ Commitment to Quality Pool Manufacturing

At Explore Industries, quality is more than just a buzzword. From the initial design phase to the final product, we adhere to strict quality control measures to ensure that every swimming pool and pool cover meets our high standards.

We’re so confident about the construction and reliability of our pools that every pool we produce across all of our brands is backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty and Lifetime Structural Osmosis Warranty.
