Piscine Global opens

Piscine Global has opened in Lyon today, featuring many Australian companies including Interpoint, Leisure Pools, Enviroswim, Riverina Pools and Boss Polymer.

Phil Jones from Enviroswim says that over the years, they’ve been supplying product direct to European clients who are looking for a low chemical, freshwater pool alternative.

“With the growing demand for alternative water treatment products we feel the timing is now right for our expansion into Europe. The Lyon Piscine Trade Show is an obvious platform for our launch. A distribution hub has been set up in the UK to supply EU market. We are attending the show with the intention of meeting suitable distributors who are interested in partnering our EU market development. We have already received interest from a large distributor who installed their first system last month."

Greg Ghalaini Leisure Pools’ European General Manager says this will be the third straight Lyon Show that they’ve exhibited in.

“Europe is a very important growth market for us,” he says. “We are pleased with our strong dealer base particularly in Western Europe. We have specific models that we have designed and built for the EU Market, including the Cube which we have on display.

“We have supplied our European demand for pools from our factory in Brisbane, Australia and export them directly to centrally located and established sales yards in Belgium and France. We are continuing our expansion plans for 2015 in other key regions.”

Since its launch in 1979, Piscine Global has become the largest and most significant international pool and spa event in Europe.

It brings together manufacturers, leading innovations from the industry and their distributors, retailers, pool and spa builders and installers, architects, landscape architects, specifiers, and private and public authorities. The event promotes more than 600 exhibitors from 35 countries to 18,000 visitors from 90 countries.
