Mergers on a local level

In July, Fluidra and Zodiac closed their overall merger. The combined company now has 5,500 employees, a portfolio of the most widely recognized brands in the industry and a presence in over 45 countries. The new company has kept the Fluidra name and remains listed on the Spanish stock exchange.

Mergers on a local level in the different countries will be done gradually, making the maximum effort to transfer the benefits of the merger to each client.

Words of the leaders

"The opportunities in the pool industry are very exciting," said Eloi PLANES, Executive Chairman of Fluidra. "Pool and wellness markets continue to show positive dynamics with room to grow for all of us. We are very confident to be able to translate the advantages of the new Fluidra to our customers."

Bruce BROOKS, CEO of Fluidra, also highlighted: "Innovation will play an important part of Fluidra's new strategic plan. We have more than 100 new products in the pipeline and a portfolio of over 1,000 patents powered by a robust R&D program, which adds value for both customers and end-users."
