ProSlide Technology, the Canada-based water slide and waterpark designer, has underlined its commitment to the Asian attractions market by opening a new office in Shanghai, China.

Based in the Shanghai Mart International Trade Centre, the office will serve as the company's operations hub in Asia-Pacific, complementing its existing business development teams in the region.

From it, ProSlide will manage all aspects of project delivery, including project management, engineering, customer care, and more.

"When it comes to the development of water parks, the Asia-Pacific region is on fire," said Ron Chisholm, managing director of Asia-Pacific operations for ProSlide.

"This Shanghai hub allows us to get even closer to our many customers in this area, respond more quickly to their needs and be more fully immersed in their success."

Rick Hunter, the group's president and CEO, added: "ProSlide is the fastest growing water park attractions company in Asia.

"We're invested in our customers' success on a personal level. Nothing feels better than delivering the world-class attractions they need to become world-class parks."

Since the company's first Asian project in the early 1990s, ProSlide has become a trusted partner to the region's top waterparks.

China projects include Beijing Water Cube, Beijing Happy Magic Waterpark and OCT parks such as Wuhan Playa Maya Waterpark, Shanghai Maya Waterpark, Spa and Waterpark Yunnan and Tianjin Happy Valley Waterpark.
