Pollet Group

What Pollet Group does

Pollet Group is a privately held Belgian family-owned industrial group operating across three core divisions: Pollet Water Group, Pollet Pool Group, and Pollet Medical Group. The Water division distributes and supplies components and complete systems for water treatment — including softening, filtration, oxidation, reverse osmosis, seawater desalination, water reuse, and disinfection — through 30 specialized companies spanning Europe, Africa and the Middle East, serving water treatment specialists, OEMs, industrial end users, public-sector clients, and the hospitality segment. The Pool division operates 11 companies (9 distribution offices plus manufacturers Aquadeck and NIVEKO) supplying pool components, slatted pool covers, and custom-built monopools (450 units per year) to commercial and residential pool builders across Europe, with exclusive distribution rights for Bayrol pool care products in Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal and the UK. The Medical division operates 9 companies providing dialysis products (dialyzers, blood lines, catheters, concentrates — over 1 million dialyzers and 4 million liters of concentrate annually via Hemotech), plasmapheresis technology (Hema.T Medical), and sterilisation services for hospitals and medical companies (Sterima), and through the 2025 acquisition of Farmasol has added in-house manufacturing of disposable dialysis products in Turkey.

The group's commercial model is B2B distribution and light specialty manufacturing, sold primarily via dedicated field teams of application specialists, technicians, and local sales representatives, supported by a central 18,000 m2 warehouse for the Pool division and regional logistics across 17 countries. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of components, systems, and consumables on a quote-based B2B pricing model — pricing is not publicly disclosed. Group-wide revenue is approaching €1 billion per public reporting, with 2,800+ employees across 50 entities. Ownership remains 100% within the Pollet family; the group is led by CEO Sofie Pollet (daughter of founder Jacques Pollet) with CFO Mathias Christiaens, and pursues an active roll-up M&A strategy as its primary growth lever alongside organic expansion.
