Owned and operated by CEO and President Vincent Lau, American Tubs opened its doors in City of Industry, California in 2012. Mr. Lau’s passion for helping others fueled his interest in walk-in tubs. He describes the company as a “happy business” that improves quality of life. The company’s products help seniors and the disabled maintain independence. With a walk-in bath, they can often delay or eliminate moving to a nursing home.
Since 2012, the American Tubs production team has assembled and shipped thousands of customized walk-in bathtubs. Quick market penetration marked a significant milestone for the company; The brand soon gained notoriety for its quality and service. Mr. Lau names the rapid acquisition of new dealers and a local TV commercial as other important milestones.
Nationwide Dealer Network
The American Tubs dealer network consists of professional contractors, with locations throughout the nation. These professionals provide quick, efficient installation and ongoing service. American Tubs requires dealers to adhere to strict standards of practice. Each new dealer goes through a thorough application process to validate their qualifications, license, and professionalism.
Innovation
American Tubs is also known for innovative features that provide the best bathing experience possible. One example is the patented Hurry Drain® system. This system drains three times faster than standard drains, allowing bathers to exit the tub quickly.
Growth and Expansion
Increasing demand led to significant changes in 2018. American Tubs merged with Bliss Tubs, another highly-regarded walk-in tub manufacturer. As Vincent Lau states, “The merger means the company can provide stronger, better service to customers.” He adds that, “American Tubs and Bliss Tubs share the same vision for high-quality products and service. Both have excellent reputations.”
Also in 2018, American Tubs also opened a production facility in Grand Prairie, Texas. High demand in eastern and southern states prompted the opening. The new factory further positions the brand to better serve customers in nearby states.
The Future of American Tubs
Today, American Tubs continues to serve the interests of seniors, the disabled, and their families. With a solid record of success, the brand continues to grow and thrive. More seniors than ever now wish to age in place. American Tubs plans to further expand and innovate to meet this demand.
