FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (September 16, 2022) — Spot Zero, leading manufacturer of marine reverse osmosis systems, has announced an expansion that includes a new state-of-the-art production facility. The newly-acquired 20,000 square-foot facility triples Spot Zero’s current operating capacity to support its rapid growth in product demand and product development.

Spot Zero New HQ Rendering“The new production facility is one of many steps we are taking to expand the business,” said Spot Zero President, Benjamin Koppenhoefer. “It will allow us to achieve a level of manufacturing and production necessary to reach our next stages of growth as product demand rapidly increases. It will also support the company’s active development of new and innovative products.”

Spot Zero New HQ_PREVIEW IMAGE_ITB Located in the heart of the Fort Lauderdale, FL marine district, the facility will house the company’s core competencies including manufacturing, engineering, and an expanded workforce. In addition to expanding production capabilities, the new headquarters will support a shift in the company’s market strategy as Spot Zero and Dometic recently agreed to end their eight year-long distribution agreement, shifting global sales and service back to Spot Zero’s internal competency.
