Jacuzzi Europe SPA is the European headquarters of the US Jacuzzi Brands, LLC. and is located in Milan. The most famous company product is the whirlpool tub which was initially manufactured in the US also for European customers. In 2017, the European headquarter sdecided to move the production of whirlpool tubs for the European markets from North America to the Italian plant located in Valvasone Arzene (Pordenone) where the company invested and will continue to invest huge resources in R&D. The main reasons for the relocation of production activities were the proximity to consumers, the high quality of production skills in the Italian plant, and the possibility to reduce logistics costs.
