TSPH (The Swimming Pool Hub)

What TSPH (The Swimming Pool Hub) does

TSPH (The Swimming Pool Hub) is a privately held European industrial group formed in 2020 through the consolidation of several established swimming pool manufacturers whose heritage dates back to 1964. Headquartered in Aarschot, Belgium, the group operates three wholly-owned subsidiary brands, each retaining its product identity and manufacturing specialization: LPW Pools (Belgian, producing one-piece swimming pools in 100% vinyl ester resin with more than 60 years of experience), Flexline (Belgian, manufacturing fully custom-made polypropylene pools with configurable length, width, and depth), and Aboral (French, designing and producing polyester pool shells with flat or sloping bottoms in various sizes). Together, these subsidiaries give the group coverage across three distinct pool-shell material technologies — vinyl ester, polypropylene, and polyester — sold under separate brand identities.

TSPH generates revenue through wholesale manufacturing and sale of pool shells to professional installers and distributors. Its go-to-market is exclusively channel-based: LPW Pools distributes through a certified pool builder network across Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands; Flexline sells through professional pool builders; and Aboral relies on distributors throughout France and neighboring countries. No direct-to-consumer channel is operated, and no pricing is publicly disclosed. The group reports 2020 revenue of €35 million, approximately 60 employees, and a stated presence in 27 countries.

Leadership is structured around co-CEOs Edmond de Fabribeckers and Guillaume de Troostembergh, with CFO Yannick Van Den Langenbergh and brand-level managing directors — Pierre-Antoine Gasciolli for Aboral and Antoon Boeykens for LPW Pools and Flexline. The ownership structure appears privately controlled by the founding consortium of industry players, with no disclosed institutional investors, private equity backing, public listing, or subsequent funding rounds. The group's communications footprint is primarily a multilingual corporate website (English, Dutch, French, German) plus earned media coverage in Belgian and French business publications.
