Maax Inc.
 PROFILE
The thought of folks soaking in a Maax tub gives this company maximum joy. About three-fourths of the company's sales come from its bathroom products, mostly acrylic, fiberglass, and thermoplastic bathtubs and showers, but also shower doors, faucets, medicine cabinets, and bathroom furniture. In addition, Maax produces spas and kitchen cabinets. US customers account for more than 65% of sales, while Canada accounts for about 30%. Maax also sells its products in Europe. Its brands include Maax, Acrylica, Pearl, Hydro Swirl, Valley, Keystone, Manhattan, Spartan, and Fasco. Growing through acquisitions, the company was founded in 1969 as Modern Fibreglass by chairman and CEO Placide Poulin, who owns 13% of Maax.
