For almost four decades, Rochdale based Spear Corporation served Putnam County and surrounding area customers for all their pool needs.
Now, the footprint has extended nationally following a recent acquisition of Spear Corporation by Landmark Aquatic. Financial terms were not known
According to a press release, Landmark Aquatic is the nation's leading provider of comprehensive commercial pool services. Officials with Landmark Aquatic said the transaction "solidifies Landmark's position as the market leader in commercial aquatics while further expanding its geographic reach across the Midwest and portfolio of services in the renovation, service, maintenance, design and construction markets."
Spear Corporation was known for excellence in designing, building, renovating and maintaining commercial swimming pools.
"Spear has established itself as a trusted name in the commercial swimming pool industry, with a proven track record of delivering quality projects and outstanding customer service. Their robust capabilities and dedication to superior quality make them an ideal addition to the Landmark platform, and by integrating their expertise and resources, this partnership will enhance Landmark's ability to deliver a comprehensive set of solutions to customers across the country. By bringing together the strengths of both companies, Landmark can now provide a seamless experience for clients, addressing their needs at every stage of the pool lifecycle," the release reads.
J. Ryan Casserly, CEO at Landmark Aquatic, welcomed the acquisition.
"We are thrilled to welcome Brian Spear and his team into the Landmark family. Their proven track record of delivering high quality service fits perfectly with our commitment to excellence," Casserly said.
Landmark Aquatic president Russell Leto said the acquisition allows Landmark to offer a broader range of services to an increasing number of clients.
"Joining forces with Spear enables us to enhance our reach into several new states and deliver our comprehensive suite of services to a wider audience of education, municipal and private club developer clients. Together, we can elevate the standards in the commercial pool industry," Leto said.
Brian Spear, President of Spear Corporation, echoed those sentiments.
"We are excited about the possibilities this collaboration brings for our customers. Our two companies are rooted in similar core values, providing a strong foundation for success. By combining our strengths and resources, we can offer our customers a more comprehensive suite of aquatic solutions, ensuring their projects are completed efficiently and to the highest standard," Spear said.
