Throwback: Cool my Pool

A short and funny throwback: The TV spot of Aqualux which was shown in the halftime tv of the Rugby World Cup eleven years ago. Unfortunatelly the All Blacks have won with 8:7 against France.

… but 2023 there is another chance for France to win the Rugby Worlds at home in France. Allez les Bleus!

Now the mayor of Wendlingen Steffen Weigel and business promoter Richy Bauer have paid us a visit to discuss the exciting new developments on site.

The visit will also be reported in the local press. We are pleased about this local support.

Olympique Marseille and the VIPs

A good time and great memories for young and old – that was the visit of the VIPs aka the Aqualux family. In the stadium of Olympique Marseille, the Orange Velodrome was a varied program, for example with the visit of the players’ areas (locker rooms, balneotherapy pool, warm-up and treatment room) and the demonstration of Brian Morales (2 times French champion in soccer freestyle) and many more.

Doubling the storage capacity

Expansion of the automated high-bay warehouse (APL) at the Wendlingen logistics site.

A second aisle was built for a further 2,000 pallet storage locations. This corresponds to a doubling of the storage capacity, which is a considerable advantage especially for the storage of hazardous goods. After a 6-month construction period, the high-bay warehouse could now be put into operation following a successful blower door test (measuring procedure for the airtightness of a building).

This is another step to improve logistics performance.

A unique occasion to introduce to LivePool Web App, which was nominated to the “Buyers’ Prize” (Prix des acheteurs), for its ability to help customers to know if the pool water is OK for swimming, and if not (or not really) how to make it clearer and safer through our chemicals.

Start of a sustainable relationship

Water is the common passion – for the CF Group and for the water polo club SSV Esslingen. Around 15 km from the CF Group headquarters, the SSV Esslingen water polo club, founded in 1908, has its own outdoor pool. With currently around 3,300 members, it is the club with the largest number of members in the city. Sport has been the main focus of the club since its foundation. For example, SSV Esslingen has been one of the best in the country in the sport of water polo for many years and has played in the 1st Bundesliga from the very beginning – currently with 3 teams (men, women and under 18).

We are pleased about the great start of the cooperation and are sure that both sides will benefit from this collaboration. A first exclamation mark has already been set: We were able to provide bubble covers for the 1050m² pool (21x50m) at short notice, so that 40% of the usual energy costs could already be saved in the start-up phase.

Many thanks to all who helped with this short-term project in Tunesia, France and Germany! Once again, this was a prime example of pragmatic and uncomplicated cross-border cooperation and the strength inside the CF Group. Can’t do, doesn’t exist!
