A great CBI EXPO in Cannes

At the JW Marriott Cannes hotel, Carré Bleu decided to bring together its dealer network for its annual national meeting on January 31 and February 1.

Created in 1998 by Marc Maupas, who was also present in Cannes alongside Cedrik Mayer-Klenk, the CBI EXPO is a real mini-exhibition dedicated to the suppliers for Carré Bleu retailers. Covering an area of almost 800 m², 30 stands run by enthusiastic and highly professional teams welcomed and informed the numerous dealers throughout the day. A privileged place to meet, exchange and discover new products or their evolutions, in particular the products of the Carré Bleu brand.

This is an important opportunity to get to know the products and equipment better, but also to get to know each other better, in a constant search for excellence to meet the demands of Carré Bleu’s high-end clientele.

A big thank you to all the participants who contributed to the success of this event through their presence and commitment, as well as to all the JW Marriott Cannes teams who made it possible for us to enjoy delicious moments of relaxation and even escape to a dreamlike setting.

AQUITAB & PSM becomes PS.TAB

As part of the legal reorganization of the entities operated by CF Group France and with a view to rationalizing and simplifying our chemical production and storage the activities of AQUITAB SAS were transfered to PSM SAS.

This merger of two entities, each operating a SEVESO site, is intended to strengthen the partnership between the two companies, and to accentuate synergies while retaining all the skills acquired by all the teams.

The merged entity will have PSM as its corporate name and PS TAB as its trading name. The creation of this new trade name (PSM AQUITAB) will make it possible to the start of a new cycle based on a single entity, while at the same time linking historical entities (PSM AQUITAB) and facilitating identification within the Group and for regular partners.

Sterck makes waves in Germany

At the end of the last year Sterck Polystone marked a milestone as the first Pool was placed and installed in Germany. Just three weeks ago, an urgent request for an 8-meter-long pool reached the desks. Despite the production planning being fully scheduled until the second quarter of 2024, Sterck made the decision to confront this challenge head-on. The entire process, from production to installation, showcased the seamless coordination and exceptional craftsmanship that went into this project.

The one-piece pool measuring 8m x 3.7m x 1.5m, emerged from the recently established production facility in Valkenswaard (NL), located next to the headquarters of the Starline Group. Constructed from the durable and sophisticated material, Polystone®, the pool arrives fully equipped with a suite of built-in parts. Ensuring both safety and energy efficiency, a Roldeck® pool cover system has been seamlessly integrated beneath the stairs of the pool, featuring Solar Eclipse® Transparent slats made of Polycarbonate.
