ELECTRONICS FOR WELLNESS

The ASTREL Water division has been European market leader since the 1990s and is the ideal partner for all wellness automation requirements: whirlpool tubs, pools, steam baths and saunas, for both public and private use.

ASTREL is indeed the major European supplier of controllers for spas and mini pools, a market in which it sells directly to all leading manufacturers. The division also represents a qualified partner for electronics in the beauty, fitness and biomedical sectors, where it provides partners custom solutions for various different types of application.

Design and manufacturing are completely managed at the company’s facilities in Italy, a structure that employs more than eighty people. The products manufactured by this division systematically undergo conformity tests in accordance with relevant standards in force, either at the accredited in-house lab or qualified outside labs. In-circuit and functional testing are performed on every product made. The division offers the market standard solutions that can be customised upon request. To respond to special requirements, the division can assist its partners through every stage of product development, providing all its expertise in research and development, design, industrialisation, certification and production.

The Water division, to meet specific market demand, has been involved in creating the Modo brand, with its own dedicated e-commerce site: www.mododepot.it.
