In 1974 Mr. George Tassone, a pioneer in the swimming pool industry, started "Atreo" pool manufacturing company. "Atreo" was one of the very first swimming pool manufacturing businesses in America. Mr. Tassone's loyal son George Jr., at age 15, was there by his Father’s side attentively watching his Dad’s every move as the early stages of swimming pool history unfolded before his eyes.
While most pool suppliers chose inexpensive imported steel pools, Mr. Tassone was quality-oriented and favored superior quality American made aluminum pools. He is well-known for developing the industries very first above-ground oval swimming pool.
