Launch of the new bluefino platform!

After several months of development, we are pleased to announce the launch of the new European platform dedicated to the product “bluefino”:

www.bluefino.eu

This new site is the result of a close collaboration between our different subsidiaries and we are quite proud of the result. In a first step, the platform has been translated into English, German, Italian, French and Dutch to serve the markets of Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

As a reminder, the first objective of this new platform was to create a digital showcase of the bluefino brand in order to inform end customers in a BtoCtoB logic. A second phase of development is planned to integrate a configurator for professionals.

Hagebau Ordermesse

In Goettingen took place recently in the historical Lokhalle since 2 years Corona break for the first time again the Hagebau leisure order fair.

All Hagebaumarkt stores from Austria and Germany (over 500 stores) come to this event to find out about new products and new trends. The focus of the fair is also to secure the supply of goods for the coming season. Thus, up to 50% of the required goods are already ordered from suppliers during the fair. This has the advantage that we can better schedule and plan.

As a novelty, we were able to present our new Aqua Fair care series. The topic of sustainability, reduced chlorine quantities and more ecological packaging was received with great interest by most Hagebau members. With this new care series, we are knocking down open doors with our customers and will possibly be one step ahead of our competitors again.

Del nominates a General Manager and a new Site Manager

It’s been a while, but we’re still pleased with these two important course decisions:

Nominated as a General Manager in November 2021, Antoine Fournier has been with the company for over 20 years. He previously held the position of Director of Operations at Fija. “Our ambition is to serve our customers in the best possible way, on time and in the best possible conditions, while maintaining the fundamentals that have made the company’s reputation: know-how, product quality and customer satisfaction,” says Antoine Fournier.

Sébastien Lemois, with 20 years of experience in the industry and in supporting small and medium-sized companies, took up his position as site manager on February 7. His mission is to bring “binding”, to improve the processes and the daily operational efficiency of all the teams in order to adapt the company’s offer to the customers’ needs. He is a continuation of the changes made by his predecessor, Sébastien Guillemot, who is now the Director of the “Product Life” division. He is in charge of managing processes and product issues as well as the industrial evolutions and developments necessary to adapt to market demand.
