CF Group acquires Starline

In the continuation of its external growth strategy, CF Group acquires the Dutch company Starline, a leading manufacturer and distributor of polypropylene and composite swimming pools, pool covers and water treatment systems in the Benelux and UK markets.

Founded in 1974, Starline achieved a turnover of 46 M€ in 2021 with a growth rate of more than 130% over the last 5 years. By generating over half of its revenue in the pool cover segment, it offers strong business synergies with CF Group, which will thus strengthen its leadership in this segment and consolidate its position in the Belgian, Dutch and UK markets.

Support for Ukraine

Many peoples and also many of our colleagues are currently indirectly or directly affected by the war in Ukraine. The workforce, with the support of management, has therefore launched a number of initiatives to support our colleagues directly on the ground.

In Wendlingen, donations were made, purchases were made and aid packages were packed, which are on their way to the crisis area together with our regular goods. They will be distributed directly on site.

In Nidderau 1800€ were collected to support Sergej Zakharov, who has been representing dinotec in Ukraine for more than 20 years. His office is located in Kyiv. Due to the war in the Ukraine and a serious health problem he was forced to flee together with his wife from his hometown. A dramatic situation like this is happening unfortunately every day.

We wish all those affected, our partners and friends strength and stamina in this crazy time!

Welcome CF Group Deutschland GmbH

In many countries, the subsidiaries have already taken the step of changing their name to CF Group. In Germany, the time has finally come:

The german subsidiary Waterman GmbH took over the customer service of Chemoform AG in March 2022 and was thus renamed to CF Group Deutschland GmbH as of March 25, 2022.

This step simplifies internal processes and thus ensures even easier and more pleasant order processing as well as ongoing support. The previous contact persons in the office and in the field will continue to be available as usual.

We are making every effort to make this changeover as smooth as possible. However, if not everything runs smoothly during the transformation process, we ask for your understanding and a little patience.

Let’s continue to set the course together for a even more successful future.

Pool Building Days in Sweden

On March 9 and 10 the CF Group Scandinavia invited their customers to the Pool Building Days. About 60 pool builders accepted the invitation and learned a lot during these two days. Supported by colleagues from other CF Group subsidiaries, many products were presented and trained, such as the styrofoam pool with a curved side and overflow, a running system with CF Control 100, a pump, filter, heatpump and a tank with water. The dinner and bar afterwards was also appreciated during the evening and night 😊

Another event that strengthens the customer relationship and transports the great know-how of the CF Group! Congratulations to all organizers and responsible persons.
