TSPH Group strengthens its position as European leader with the acquisition of Aboral Piscines

 

The TSPH Group, a specialist in high-end one-piece pools, has acquired the French manufacturer Aboral Piscines, further reinforcing its position as a European leader. Joffe & Associés (Christophe Joffe, Charlotte Viandaz, Marie-Camille Degrugillier, and Clément Peillet) advised the sellers (Holding Gasciolli) in connection with this transaction.

 

The Belgian industrial group TSPH (The Swimming Pool Hub), a family-owned company founded by the de Troostembergh family, continues its external growth strategy with the acquisition of Aboral Piscines, a leading French manufacturer of one-piece polyester pools. This major transaction includes the integration of Aboral’s three production sites, located in Saint-Jean-d’Illac (Gironde) and Simandre (Burgundy). Already the owner of LPW Pools (vinyl ester) and Flexline (polypropylene), TSPH is further consolidating its 100% European, multi-material offering in the premium swimming pool market.

 

Founded in 2006 by Véronique and Alain Gasciolli, Aboral Piscines quickly stood out for the quality of its products, its innovation, and its investments in automation and quality control. The most recent example: the acquisition of a 5-axis robot in March 2025, aimed at improving pool finishing and developing new molds.

 

With this acquisition, TSPH now brings together three strong brands in the one-piece pool market, with a total production area of 20,000 m² and more than 100 employees across three sites. The group plans to expand its European distribution network, starting with France by opening 50 new points of sale, followed by Germany, where it aims to open 30 to 40 multi-brand stores.

 

“We are delighted to have found in TSPH a family-owned partner who shares our values and vision. This collaboration ensures a promising future for Aboral Piscines and our teams, while preserving the level of quality and service that built our reputation,” said Véronique Gasciolli in an interview with EuroSpaPoolNews.
