SUNRANS will meet pool, spa and wellness professionals at two major industry events in November 2026. The International Pool Spa Patio Expo takes place in New Orleans from November 17 to 19, while Piscine Global Europe runs in Lyon from November 17 to 20. Visitors can meet the SUNRANS teams at Booth 1837 in New Orleans and Stand 6E86 in Lyon.
The two exhibitions serve different regional markets, but buyers raise many of the same commercial questions: Which models fit local demand? What electrical and certification options are available? Can the range support private labels? How are samples, loading, warranty and replacement parts handled?
This preview explains what buyers can discuss at each event and how to prepare for a focused meeting. Exhibition schedules and booth information should be reconfirmed before travel.
PSP Expo brings together pool builders, spa retailers, service professionals, manufacturers and other industry specialists in North America. Piscine Global Europe connects pool and wellness suppliers with distributors, contractors, designers and project buyers from Europe and surrounding markets.
SUNRANS manufactures hot tubs, swim spas, saunas, cold plunges and related products. Meeting teams in both regions allows buyers to discuss the same manufacturing platform through different market lenses. North American conversations often focus on dealer economics, electrical configuration, delivery and field service. European discussions often place greater emphasis on energy costs, insulation, compact spaces, destination-country requirements and design differentiation.
The exhibitions are also useful for buyers planning their 2027 ranges. A productive visit should end with a shortlist of products, a record of open technical questions and a clear next step such as a quotation, sample plan or factory meeting.

Visitors can discuss residential hot tubs, premium swim spas, indoor and outdoor saunas, cold-plunge products and broader wellness projects. The conversation can begin with a product category or with a commercial use case such as a dealer showroom, villa project, hotel, fitness facility or private-label launch.
For distributors, the team can review product roles, target retail positioning, sample strategy and mixed-model purchasing. For project buyers, the discussion can cover dimensions, installation access, electrical planning, maintenance and delivery coordination. OEM customers can present branding, color, configuration, packaging and documentation requirements.
The most useful meeting is specific. Bring the destination country, preferred products, estimated quantity, target launch date and required certification information. Price, MOQ, lead time, loading quantity, warranty and certification can only be confirmed against a defined model and configuration.
North American dealers need products that can be sold, installed and serviced with confidence. At PSP Expo, discussions can cover family hot tubs, compact models, premium showpieces, swim spas and private-label options. Buyers can also ask about control systems, electrical configurations, packaging and after-sales support.
A dealer should evaluate more than the number of jets. Seating comfort, access panels, component layout, insulation, cover specification and serviceability all affect the ownership experience. The product range should include clear steps in size, function and retail position so the sales team can explain why each model exists.
Delivery planning deserves equal attention. The route from the factory to the dealer, and then from the dealer to the homeowner, may require forklifts, dollies, cranes or specialist carriers. SUNRANS can provide model information, while the importer remains responsible for confirming local codes, site conditions and installation practice.
Europe contains many distinct markets. A model suited to a large suburban garden in one country may not suit an urban terrace or alpine climate elsewhere. Buyers at Piscine Global can discuss compact footprints, insulation packages, electrical options, finishes and dealer product mixes.
Energy performance is a commercial issue as well as a technical one. The shell, pipework, cabinet, base, cover, circulation strategy and installation environment all influence operating cost. Dealers should request model-specific information and avoid applying a general energy claim to an entire range.
Compliance must also be checked against the exact destination. CE-related documentation, electrical components, labels and manuals should correspond to the final product. If an OEM project changes the electrical system or structure, the compliance impact requires review before production.

Hot tubs remain the core category for many spa retailers. A well-structured range can include a compact entry product, a mainstream family model and a premium spa with stronger visual impact. Swim spas provide a higher-value category for exercise, leisure, rehabilitation and commercial projects. Sauna rooms and cold plunges allow retailers to address the wider outdoor wellness trend.
SUNRANS has manufactured spa products since 2006 and supplies customers in more than 80 countries. Selected products use Aristech acrylic, stainless-steel structural options and recognized control systems such as Balboa or Gecko, depending on the model and specification.
Buyers should ask for the current configuration sheet rather than assuming that every catalog feature is standard. Materials, pumps, controls, insulation, accessories and certification availability vary by model. The signed quotation and contract should identify what is included.
An exhibition meeting is a good place to test an OEM concept before investing in development. Buyers can bring a target customer profile, competitive reference, preferred appearance and price position. The SUNRANS team can then identify an existing platform or explain which changes require engineering work.
Common private-label requests include logo placement, acrylic and cabinet colors, massage layouts, control systems, manuals, packaging and labels. More substantial changes may affect tooling, testing, certification, MOQ, price and delivery time. A standard platform with selected brand changes often provides the shortest route to market.
All parties should document sample approval, component choices, visual standards, inspection criteria and intellectual-property responsibilities. The exhibition is the start of that process, not a substitute for technical approval.
Prepare a short purchasing brief before the show. Include your company and sales channels, target country, product category, ideal retail position, expected first order, certification needs, target launch date and required customization. If you already sell spas, identify gaps in your current range and the problems you want a new supplier to solve.
Bring photographs or dimensions when discussing a project site. For a dealer range, bring information about showroom space, local delivery equipment and service coverage. For an OEM project, bring brand guidelines and a prioritized list of changes.
After the meeting, request a written summary with selected models, pending questions and responsible contacts. This prevents details from being lost during a busy exhibition week.
The next step after the show should match the maturity of the opportunity. A new dealer may need a catalog review and sample quotation. An established importer may be ready for a mixed-container plan. A project buyer may need drawings and installation information. An OEM customer may require a technical feasibility review.
SUNRANS can also arrange follow-up discussions and, when practical, a factory visit in China. A factory review can examine production lines, component storage, plumbing and electrical assembly, water testing, final inspection and packaging.
Before any order, confirm price terms, model configuration, certification scope, production time, packaging, loading plan, warranty and claim procedure. These details remain subject to the specific model, destination and signed agreement.
