What Ocedis does

Ocedis (Groupe Ocedis) is a French manufacturer and distributor of chemical and equipment solutions for the swimming pool and spa industry, headquartered in Trévoux, France, and operating as a private SASU with €4,750,000 share capital and 51-100 employees. The group's core technology stack spans traditional chemical water treatment (chlorine, bromine, pH adjusters, algicides, flocculants, clarifiers, stabilizers), the Vitii biomineral filtration system (a 100% natural, chemical-free alternative that eliminates chlorine and bromine and enables backwash water recycling), MelFrance automatic controllers and dosing pumps for automated water-chemistry management, MelPAC heat pumps, LED lighting, leak detectors, Melconnect water analysis, and Splash Toons / Easytoon / Aquatoon water-play and educational equipment for public pools. A stainless-steel equipment line and an AQQUATIX-branded aquafitness range (exclusively distributed in France via subsidiary La Maison de la Piscine) round out the portfolio, alongside a four-tier product customization service that lets retailers rebrand chemical SKUs under their own labels.

The business is run on a B2B sales-led model anchored by a France-wide commercial fleet and a distribution network of 900+ specialist pool and Spa retailers across France, Belgium, and Switzerland, with direct e-commerce through La Maison de la Piscine for individuals and a dedicated Espace Pros B2B portal for account customers. Revenue derives primarily from one-time sales of treatment chemicals and pool equipment, complemented by professional services including product customization, training for pool technicians, and a three-person after-sales service team. Customer segments split between piscinistes (professional pool specialists), family/residential pool owners, public/collective pools (municipal, hotel, aquatic centers), and spa facilities. The group is structured through multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries covering core operations (Ocedis, LMP, Vitii, Melwater, STS 85) and regional or international expansion (Ocedis Morocco for Africa, Ocedis Export for international), with the 3R eco-design strategy (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and participation at Piscine Global supporting an eco-responsible positioning built around the Vitii proposition.

Broad incumbents

• Hayward Holdings: Global pool equipment manufacturer offering pumps, filters, heaters, automation, and chemicals (including the Mareva chemical brand in France). Overlaps with Ocedis across equipment and chemicals and is a much larger broad-line incumbent.
