The change continues…

The transformation process in the CF Group is in full progress.
This is reflected in many different measures:

• Stotinka d.o.o. in Slovenia became CF Group Adria d.o.o.
• LMP in Belgium became CF Group Benelux NV
• Fija SAS in France became CF group France SAS

Please recognize these changes also in the master data of your systems!

In addition to the legal components, the appearance is also gradually changing. At the production site of the chemical water care products in Köngen (Germany), the existing Chemoformgroup Logo has recently been changed to CF Group and is shining now day and night – making the transformation to the CF Group visible to the outside world as well.

This transformation process will continue in 2022 to strengthen and establish our European CF Group brand.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year

Thank you for your engagement in 2021. We’re looking forward to continue this good way together in 2022!

We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Exploring the “green” pools

The synergies in the CF Group are increasingly used. In November a Team from Carré Bleu visited Balena to spent a very good and highly interesting time together. Dr. Norbert Gäng showed some pool projects and insights of the own biological water filtration system. It was a success and for shure only a first step of a beautiful success between Carré Bleu and Balena.

We’re already looking forward to many extraordinary pool projects – realized by Carre Bleu and Balena together.

Goodbye to cloudy times

Worldwide, turbidity sensors are required for quality assurance in a wide variety of industries. For swimming pools and ponds, CF Group has now developed ChemoSens Turbidity – the turbidity measurement for crystal clear water.
Thanks to the turbidity measurement, e.g. flocculants, circulation pumps and much more can be controlled in a targeted manner, thus saving energy and costs.

ChemoSens is compact, small and easy to install – also additional to existing Dosing- and Measurement systems.

Paysalia, the “must” show for the landscaping sector

From the 30th of November to the 2nd of December 2021 the Paysalia – Landscape, Garten & Sport Exhibition took place in Lyon. Heissner and Aqualux have represented the CF Group with a own booth. Hightlights were the Heissner products for the French landscapers.

It was a interesting fair with many good contacts – and another footprint of the CF Group in the european Garden- and Waterworld.

CF Group Benelux on the road again

The development of CF Group Benelux continues. Since a short time the own transporters shine in the new CF Group look.

Besides the aspect of making the CF Group brand better known, the vehicles are also very useful. The technical service is on the road every day to offer our customers a good and fast service. All tools are stored in the vehicles so that our technicians can solve problems directly on site.

We wish all the time a perfect service and safe driving!

A new chapter: CF Group Adria

Dear CF Group members, we are proud to inform you that Stotinka has started writing a new chapter in our almost 30 year-long successful story. Today, on December 1st, 2021, we are changing the name of the company to CF Group Adria d.o.o. .

In addition, after 28 years of running the company, Darko Rojs is stepping down as CEO and will take on new tasks within the CF Group Adria.

Uroš Lapi, the current COO, was appointed today as the new CEO of the company and will with his CF Group Adria team continue to take care of our business relations at the highest level.

CF Group Switzerland at the “Swiss Bad”

On November 10 and 11, the Siwss Bad trade congress was held in Regensdorf (Switzerland). The conference is aimed at the public sector and is the only one of its kind in Switzerland.

At the booth of IMPAG, our strategic partner for the public sector, we were able to experience two interesting days with many good new contacts.

We are pleased that CF Group Switzerland can also expand its position and competencies in the public sector.

The printing policy goes more environnemental-friendly

This year, CF Group France has decided to review the printing methods of most of our communication materials as we go along. We have made some major changes, which are in line with the CSR policy activated within CF Group!

The French 2022 General Catalogue  will be printed on 100% PEFC certified-paper and will no longer have a plastic coating. We are switching to a biodegradable coating for the cover, which is more respectful, while maintaining a good quality of protection and printing.

For Les outils du piscinier (order forms), we also print on 100% PEFC certified-paper. No more plastic coating but a water-based acrylic varnish, completely recyclable in the traditional paper recycling channels.

For brochures, we are eliminating the soft touch plastic coating (really a lot of plastic! ), and will now print on a slightly heavier 100% PEFC certified-paper with a water-based acrylic varnish, soft touch effect, 100% recyclable. Nice effect and no plastic !

For example, on the 35,000 brochures we will be printing for Scandinavia, we will go from a cost of more than 12,000€ to about 7,000€ by changing our printing methods. This is thus a significant saving, especially as the price of paper is currently rising sharply (as many other raw materials), with shortages of certain types of paper, which is creating printing difficulties for many companies!

The PEFC logo will now be used on all our brochures and communication materials (this logo is generally added by the printer)! This is just the beginning for all our communication materials in the future 😉 Indeed, we can be more environmentally friendly while rationalising printing costs.

New Welding machine for DEL site of Pia (Perpignan)

Del increases its liner production capacity with this new bottom welding machine. Thanks to Aqualux’s feedback on this new technology deployed last year for bar covers, the Pia site has validated and invested in this welding technology, in particular for manufacturing the serial liners consumed and sold by the group.  A good example of the group synergy from industry to sales. Congrats 🙂
