GT Invest continues its investments in the swimming pools market with Poolspot

09.06.2021

GT Invest made its maiden acquisition in the swimming pool market with the takeover of JDS Pools in Maldegem in mid-March 2021. This investment was swiftly followed by a further 3 acquisitions in the swimming pool market: Intrapools, zwembadvoordeel.be and De Zwemwereld. This successful group of industry titans continues under the group name Poolspot and aspires to become the largest and most professional swimming pool group in Flanders.

The swimming pool market has enjoyed exponential growth in recent years. Low interest rates, improved weather conditions, more affordable investment and running costs and an increased demand for luxury home amenities since the start of the pandemic have resulted in a proliferation of swimming pool installation companies, not all of which boast equally professional backgrounds.

JDS Pools: the launch of the Poolspot group

JDS Pools is an extremely reputable and experienced player that intends strengthening its market position through ongoing expansion and professionalisation. Johny De Smet and his wife Caroline Van Heuverswijn joined forces with GT Invest with the aim of creating continuity for both the company and its employees and making further investments with a focus on profitable and sustainable growth. JDS Pools has formed part of the GT Invest corporate portfolio since the spring of 2021.

Additional acquisitions: Intrapools, Zwembadvoordeel.be and De Zwemwereld

The Poolspot group was born following a number of additional acquisitions in the swimming pool sector: Intrapools, online webshop zwembadvoordeel.be and De Zwemwereld.
