Fluidra has signed an agreement to acquire Hydrapro, a French manufacturer specializing in chemical water treatment products for swimming pools and spas, as the company looks to expand its presence in the French pool market.

The transaction was disclosed as part of Fluidra’s first-half 2026 financial results. Hydrapro generates approximately €30 million in annual revenue and supplies water treatment products to both professional and consumer channels. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

The acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in early 2027.

Hydrapro Brings Established French Manufacturing Operations

Founded in 2007, Hydrapro specializes in the formulation, manufacturing and distribution of powders, tablets and other solid products used for swimming pool water treatment and water balance.

The company operates a 10,000-square-meter manufacturing facility in France and reports shipping approximately 22,000 metric tons of product annually. Hydrapro packages roughly 140,000 units each month and employs approximately 60 people.

Its portfolio includes products for pool and spa disinfection, algae control, water balance and general maintenance.

For Fluidra, the acquisition provides an opportunity to increase its presence in one of France’s largest pool product categories. The company said water treatment represents the largest category in the French pool market, which includes an installed residential base of nearly two million swimming pools.

The transaction also adds an established domestic manufacturer to Fluidra’s operations in France, a market the company has identified as strategically important.

Once completed, the acquisition will give Fluidra greater exposure to the recurring water-care side of the industry, where chemicals and treatment products are required throughout the operating life of a swimming pool rather than primarily during new construction or equipment replacement cycles.

Fluidra expects the Hydrapro acquisition to close in early 2027.
