Beginning
1989: The success story of Schletterer Wellness & Spa Design started almost twenty years ago. Heinz Schletterer then developed the first modern spa area for the Alpenrose hotel situated at lake Achensee in the Tyrol. It turned out to be a tremendous success. This laid the foundation for the company`s success and initiated the spa boom.
Pioneer work
In 1991 Heinz Schletterer founded the trademark Thermarium, specializing in the planning and production of spa areas. "Thermarium" was soon becoming one of the top trademarks for the production of high-quality spa equipment on an international level. But the days of Roman baths are long gone; they have given way to modern spa oases that are characterised by their focus on health and aesthetics. The Thermarium brand no longer reflected the spirit of the age, so in 2009 Heinz Schletterer developed the modern and innovative brand ‘INVIION’ for the new direction of the spa equipment market.
Specialisation
In 1998 Aremides GmbH was founded, introducing a clear separation of the planning and designing of spa areas on the one hand, and spa products and equipment on the other. Already at that time, the company`s list of clients included well-known names such as Centerparcs, Sheraton, Wellness Residenz Schalber, Hotel Bär, Falkensteiner Hof, Hotel Atlantis etc.
Expansion
In 2001 Aremides GmbH was renamed into Schletterer Wellness & Spa GmbH. Being aware of the potential, spa pioneer Heinz Schletterer added the overall planning of spa hotels to his business activities. The company soon turned out to be the leading spa planning and consulting firm – worldwide.
Uniqueness
In 2006, important foundations were laid for further international expansion. The brand, company structure and business model were re-defined. The company is unique within the industry in having four integrated business units (divisions) - project development, consulting, architecture and realisation – providing a unique ‘one stop shop‘for customers. Thus Schletterer covers the entire workflow in the development of profitable hotel, spa and wellness projects. Everything under one roof!
Worldwide
2008: In order to ensure the international expansion, the company focused on the markets that were of strategic significance, where consulting agencies and representative offices were founded. Following England, Dubai, Russia and Egypt, in summer 2008 and 2009 branches were also established in the Asian market in Hong Kong, and also in Barcelona. These offices do not only guarantee an efficient active market development and the quality involved with it, but also a constant and close market investigation supporting the company`s innovative capacity.
It is our past that provides us with strength for the future!
