Fort Wayne Pools Fort Wayne, IN

Fort Wayne Pools, a major manufacturer of in-ground swimming pools, is known worldwide for building many unique shapes and sizes of pools. The 30-year-old company employs more than 500 people to manufacture its galvanized steel-walled / vinyl-lined pools.

“ UniPunch tooling provides us with the flexibility we need”

“ We use brakes, shears, UniPunch tooling and welders to fabricate our pools. Everything is basically custom designed and built...you can have any size or shape pool you can imagine.

“ We use UniPunch to do all of our punching and notching. We utilize a little tiny slit punch for making radiuses.

“ Dies would be too expensive to use in our operation because we make so many different pool configurations. Engineering changes a lot of hole patterns because of the many sizes and shapes of our pools. Every time we change over to make a different pool, higher or shorter, longer or shorter, we have to change our patterns. We use the same UniPunches to make them all. We just change the hole setup on the templates, lock them down and start punching. UniPunch provides us with the flexibility we need.”
