CF-Group is making „green”

dinotec has done another step to make our world more save and “green”.

In the beginning of June 2023, together with our Joint Venture partner “dinoSol” and our Indonesian agent, we finalised the installation of 2x VoDes 10000 Twin electrolysis systems. These units complete our existing installation of 2x VoDes 2000 in a waterworks of a town called Pontianak. This production of 24kg Cl₂ per hour is now taking care of the drinking water for the city. By this installation we replaced 95% of existing chlorine gas installation and improve the sanitation of drinking water for over 700.000 people.

They can now put their mind in rest because there is no more risk of a chlorine gas hazard and our machines are taking care of the sanitation for around 300MLD (million litres per day) of drinking water!

Responses to climate change

Climate change is accelerating and water-related problems are multiplying.

It is more necessary than ever to preserve this vital resource for our environment and our people. CF Group has long been committed to these issues and is developing sustainable solutions.

To meet this challenge, the French Pool Specialists Association (FPP) recently established a charter of commitment to encourage professionals to offer environmentally conscious solutions.

1. reduce and optimize water consumption by offering solutions such as pond covers, cartridge filters, rainwater harvesting systems or water storage solutions during renovations.
2. communicate and inform your customers by providing them with user and maintenance manuals and flyers on water conservation.
3. Train and raise staff awareness of good water management practices and environmental change.

Let’s work together to protect water and the environment by adopting responsible and sustainable practices for our pools.

The technology masterminds

Today we honor the organization that contributes daily to our technological progress. The Technocentre is an important innovation pole dedicated to the conception and creation of our future Core Products – the main products of CF group – for all our product worlds.

This center plays an important role in the Group’s development, implementing an innovation strategy for increasingly eco-friendly solutions. Thanks to the integration of new materials and adapted technologies, CF group develops products that are the closest to the customers’ expectations, in order to then manufacture and distribute them on the swimming pool market.

Every day, about 15 employees focus on the conception, the patent applications, the tests, the prototypes and the launch of new products. To do this, all resources are used, in terms of equipment, but also in terms of talent within the teams, which are organized around three bases:

• Innovation
• The technical mastery
• The adaptation to the use.

With the help of all the teams in the different sites of the Group, 7 new patents are currently being filed for the launch of our next Core Products.

Sport within the CF Group

Two keywords of the CF Group vision are health and care. This go hand in hand with sports, as promoting physical activity not only has positive effects on our health, but can also help protect and take care of our environment.

There were always sports activities within the CF Group. For example: at the Wendlingen site, there is the company owned Gym and some soccer-loving colleagues who meet regularly to compete after work and stay fit. Perhaps there are also activities at other locations?

In order to motivate each other, we have created a CF Group Club on the STRAVA sports platform. If you are a sport enthusiast and already using STRAVA to record your activities, you can easily join the club CF Group. We welcome every new CF Group Club member on Strava:

And maybe we’ll manage to measure and motivate ourselves not only digitally but one day also physically with a soccer tournament or common runs or bike rides.
