Worldwide
The first few years of the company's activities were spent developing a worldwide market for glass walls on squash and racquet ball courts. This was a product which enabled the company to gain expertise in consigning and installing products for the construction industry in overseas markets. This expertise in glass was extended to the provision of Cabrillant partitions and lockers, using ceramic painted (frit) toughened (tempered) glass. There are now in excess of 30,000 squash and racquetball courts around the world with Ellis Pearson glass wall systems and over 2000 health & fitness clubs installed with Cabrillant glass shower cubicles and an increasing number with glass lockers.
Market
In the early 1980's Prospec expanded its activities to include the Marathon range of storage lockers and partitions using solid phenolic panels. Initially these products were intended for public swimming pool changing areas, which can experience heavy public use, so are ideally suited for installations in all types of public buildings. As a result of Prospec's engineering and installation experience, the products have become widely accepted across North America and in the UK. Currently, "Marathon" is considered to be the market leader, in local authority swimming pool and sport centre developments. The same systems are exported in component form to a number of overseas markets including mainland Europe, the Middle and Far East, Australia and New Zealand.
