The Tropitone® brand was originally established as a commercial brand in 1954 when car travel was starting to boom in the USA. As travelers became familiar with Tropitone® brand products at hotels and resorts, they began asking where they could buy such comfortable, stylish and high quality products for their homes. Tropitone decided to fill that demand by offering commercial-quality products for sale at retail.

Tropitone changed the standards for an entire industry by applying the rigorous product and service requirements of the highly demanding commercial market to the residential market. It has broad and deep portfolios of products specifically designed for commercial and residential outdoor spaces, all with the same standards of excellence.
