Polin Waterparks is a World Leading Turkish manufacturer of
İstanbul, Turkey
in 1976.
History
Polin was founded in Istanbul in 1976 by architect Enver Pakiş as a fiberglass (GRP) design and manufacturing company.[1] More than 3000 water park projects in 116 countries have been completed by Polin.[3] It offers a range of products, including signature rides such as the patented King Cobra, Magic Spheres, Spheres, MagiCone and Space Shuttle and Stingray.[3]
Polin uses a technique called
resin transfer molding (RTM) in their water slide manufacturing process.[3] RTM is a manufacturing method that provides advantages compared to the traditional process of water slide production.[4] RTM allows for the product to be created in less time and with less waste, yet is also stronger and lighter than non-RTM products.[4] Since 2006, Polin has converted 100% of its rides to RTM, and can also implement its patented Natural Light Effects and Special Pattern Effects into the product.[4]
Locations
All of Polin's production takes place in Turkey.[2] Sales offices are located in France, Russia, Morocco, Macedonia and China.[2] Through 2013, Polin completed its manufacturing in three plants located in Turkey. A fourth plant is expected to open in 2014.[2]
