The swimming pool season is just around the corner. For 2024, we have decided not to produce a main catalog for germany – in the past with 600 pages of swimming pool technology in printed form – but to focus on the new products and most important products for 2024.

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.
At the beginning of the year, on January 18 and 19, the “TeichMeister” invited guests to their joint annual conference in the far north. The venue was wintry Hamburg, more precisely the ship “KAI 10” from the Mercure Hotel Hamburg City. In keeping with the occasion, the element of water also played a major role at the conference venue.
Away from the busy main season in pool and garden construction, many “TeichMeister” partners gathered again in mid-January, despite the chaotic weather, a pleasing result for the hosts, Balena GmbH / TeichMeister partner association, who had a lot to report from the past year and also whetted the appetite for the pool year 2024 with a lot of zest for action, new ideas and developments. Many exciting presentations, an exchange of experiences and an excursion to private gardens with pools in Hamburg rounded off the conference perfectly. The “TeichMeister” partner network is now fully geared up for the coming pool season!
The 2024 edition of Technical Days in France took place from January 15 to 19.
The entire sales team and technical support staff were invited to attend technical training sessions and presentations of new products.
It was a real opportunity to exchange views on market trends, the CF group offer and to launch the 2024 season.
CF group Benelux is proud to sponsor brothers Jef and Ferre of the B.ART Racing Team for another season.
Jef became ONK (Open Dutch Championship) champion in 2023. Although he didn’t take part in all the races, he finished number 2 in the Benelux Trophy with a difference of just 1 point over rival Bram Lambrechts. In 2024, he will return to the Trophy and take his revenge in the IDM (German Championship), but this time at the wheel of a Ducati V2 Panigale.
Ferre won every race he took part in in the Belgian championship, but as he didn’t take part in every race, he finished second in the standings. In the IDM championship, he finished seventh.
For the 2024 season, he will take part in the Northern Talent Cup and the Belgian championship.
We wish them good luck for their next challenges! 🏆
“Real de la Quinta” is a real estate project near Malaga. The 200 hectare residential resort is seamlessly integrated into the foothills of the Sierre de las Nieves at the pictoresque Costa del Sol.
Balena, the biological water treatment experts in the CF Group, are responsible for equipping the 40,000 m² water surface with biological water treatment. The filter zones with an area of 2500m² will be built in February and March under the supervision of Balena. Completion of the project is planned for the end of 2024.
Congratulation to Balena to be part of this unique project.

During the last team building event organised by CF Group Benelux, the Belgian colleagues were ‘forced’ to immerse themselves in a virtual reality experience. During this digital adventure, all employees had to learn how to work together to achieve the various objectives set by the game. This immersive experience was very entertaining and stimulating for the entire team and helped to strengthen internal cohesion.
The experience ended with a nice dinner in Louvain La Neuve, where everyone could share what they had just experienced and talk about the future of the company in a friendly atmosphere.
