The Zodiac company is currently on the lookout to acquire companies as part of its development strategy in Italy.

 

Europool Italia (Castiglione delle Stiviere, Mantova, Italy), a company of the Zodiac Group, has been specializing in the manufacture and marketing of in-ground pools since 1977.

One of the two leading companies in this sector in Italy, Europool Italia attained a turnover of almost € 20 million in 2010, and boasts of a market share of 20%.


In order to support its determination to expand its pool business and consolidate its offers to its partners, Zodiac is actively looking to acquire companies that specialize in the Italian market.

Its clear objective is to develop the company Europool Italia.
