Haviland Pool & Spa will operate its new pool chemical facility through subsidiary Aegis USA.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Manufacturing
Haviland Pool & Spa announced a $26 million investment in a new 50,000-square-foot Indiana facility for manufacturing and packaging chlorinated pool chemicals. The plant will be operated by Aegis USA, a wholly owned Haviland subsidiary.
Why it matters
The investment supports the company's continued growth and extends a multiyear strategy focused on research, product development and manufacturing capacity. It also expands Haviland's footprint for Indiana residents and the regional manufacturing sector.
Haviland is investing $26 million in a 50,000-square-foot facility, following a $7 million, 11,000-square-foot laboratory in Grand Rapids. The number of jobs to be created and the exact Indiana site have not been disclosed.
The players

Haviland Pool & Spa is a pool and spa products manufacturer that produces eight house brands and is the parent company of the new Indiana facility's operator.

Timeline
April 2025: The Grand Rapids laboratory became fully operational.
2024: Haviland announced the $7 million Grand Rapids laboratory.
First quarter of 2027: The Indiana facility is expected to become operational.
Manufacturing Footprint
The Indiana plant extends Haviland's expansion from its 2024 Grand Rapids laboratory, following the company's stated multiyear strategy to strengthen research, product development and manufacturing. With the new site, Haviland will operate seven locations across four states.
Indiana residents will see a new manufacturing facility and related employment opportunities once the plant opens. Customers of Haviland's pool products are unlikely to see immediate changes until the facility is in operation.
