MAAX Spas Industries Corp was founded in 1969, and their products are carried in showrooms across North America and Europe. In 2007, MAAX Spas was named one of the five biggest spa and hot tub firms in North America. One year later, they joined the Brookfield family, and this made them part of the world’s largest hot tub spa manufacturing companies.
Each MAAX Spas hot tub is made with three layers of insulation, a 56 frame pump and a steel sub structure to provide durability performance. Maax Spas is the creator of the Theramax jetting system that can be found in all of their hot tub models. As of December 2014, L.A. Spas has been owned by MAAX Spas. There are several other hot tub companies operating under the ownership of MAAX, including Vita Spas and Elite Spas. Having these brands all under one manufacturer makes their products more wide spread across differing distribution channels.
