CF Group’s strong presence at Toom and Hagebau trade fairs

Shortly before the end of 2024, the CF Group participated in two major trade fairs: the Toom Garden and Construction Fair and the Hagebau Fair. For the first time, the CF Group presented the Medipool brand at the Toom trade fair, with many leading industry representatives in attendance. At the annual Hagebau trade fair, the CF Group presented the HEISSNER brand. This commitment led to a significant increase in order volume. We were able to successfully participate in both trade fairs, conclude the year with a positive performance, and lay a strong foundation for 2025.

Happy new year – we are back in “fresh shape” !

We are sure you already know about our evolved Visual Identity. Communication about it started in fall 2024 at our booth at Piscine Global in Lyon, and the new key visual is on the cover of our catalogue 2025…

So, we say farewell to the Woman with the Hat … and welcome a redesigned visual identity that more accurately reflects our positioning as a leading manufacturer in Universes 2 and 3 and as the pioneer in innovating the Pool of the Future.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our logo, vision, purpose, and values do not evolve; only the graphic design does.

Sucessful Order Fair BAUVISTA 2024

A few weeks ago, we exhibited at the Bauvista Order Fair in Bad Salzuflen, a significant purchasing and ordering fair where all the major hardware stores are represented. The trade fair offers the participating markets the opportunity to learn about new products and place pre-orders for the upcoming year.

For the first time this year, we successfully presented our new concept for Heissner products as well as pond products. Although many customers had already placed a part of their orders before the trade fair, we were able to record relevant additional orders and hold numerous promising discussions with interested parties during the event.

Our long-standing and trusting collaboration with Bauvista has once again proven to be extremely successful. We have succeeded in driving out some of our competitors and further strengthened our position.

We look forward to continuing this successful partnership in the coming years.

Driving Growth and Innovation: CF Group at Piscine Global

The Piscine Global, which has been held in Lyon since 1979, has established itself as the most important trade fair in Europe for the swimming pool, leisure, and wellness industry.

The trade fair took place from November 19 to 22, 2024, and offered nearly 1000 exhibitors and brands the opportunity to showcase their latest innovations. Despite a slight decline in visitor numbers (-7%, totaling 24,903 visitors), the CF Group recorded an increase in visitors of +9.7%.

Thanks to a prime location, the strong perceived value of our brand and products, and the close relationships we maintain with our customers, the CF Group’s booth was one of the most visited at the entire fair.

We sincerely thank everyone who helped make this appearance a success. Let’s carry on with this productive path into season 2025!

Headquarters receives the “Exemplary Building” award

In order to raise awareness of building culture in everyday life, the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects has been presenting the “Exemplary Building” award to exceptional projects for many years. Of the 96 buildings submitted, 22 have now received awards, including the CF Group headquarters in Wendlingen.

The jury’s reasoning: Large windows and indirect lighting create a bright and friendly atmosphere in the large logistics hall, pleasantly emphasized by the impressive timber construction. The clearly laid out room structure nevertheless offers many places of retreat where people can work alone or in groups in a concentrated manner.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects for this award, which we are very proud to receive.

Rainwater recovery in Bouc-Bel-Air

We are pleased to announce the successful installation of rainwater harvesting tanks in Bouc-Bel-Air, a project implemented by the CF Group and supported by the municipality as part of its commitment to sustainability.

This measure will lead to a significant reduction in drinking water consumption, as the collected rainwater is now used for irrigating green areas. This not only relieves the drinking water network and reduces costs but also enhances a natural, renewable resource and promotes environmentally conscious practices.

We are proud to have contributed to this success and hope to inspire other municipalities to follow this path of ecological transformation.

Efficiency meets sustainability

We are proud of the collaboration between Dr. Nüsken and Dinotec, who have supported the city of Gedern with a membrane cell electrolysis plant. The facility produces fresh disinfectant in the form of liquid chlorine from salt, water, and electricity. So far, 1.4 tons of chlorine granules have been needed per year. But since only a maximum of 200 kilograms could be stored in the indoor pool, seven deliveries were necessary.

The city of Gedern reports that costs amounting to 15,000 euros annually were incurred solely for the purchase and delivery. Thanks to the new facility, one salt delivery per year will be sufficient in the future. Thus, the city saves several thousand euros per year.
