The European division of Waterco, a leading manufacturer and distributor of products for the international swimming pool and water treatment markets, has opened a new branch in Lyon, France.
 Situated in the heart of the French swimming pool market with access to valuable transport links, Waterco’s new office will allow the company to offer an efficient service to not only the French market but also its neighbouring countries.
 “Waterco Europe has always been focused on expanding its European operation through either expansion or acquisitions,” says Tony Fisher, managing director of Waterco Europe. “France is possibly the largest swimming pool market in Europe and has always been an important part of Waterco’s continued growth so it made sense to open an operation there.”
Heading the Lyon operation will be Jose Angel-Gonzalez, an industry professional with more than 20 years’ experience in the European swimming pool market.
