Zodiac Pool Care Europe is an operating company that designs, manufactures, and sells a range of equipment for swimming pool maintenance and water quality, primarily serving the European market. The company, created in 1998, is part of the broader Zodiac brand, which was founded in 1909. Zodiac Pool Care Europe, along with Zodiac Pool Systems, merged with Fluidra in 2018, making it a subsidiary of the Spanish-listed multinational Fluidra. Fluidra is a global leader in the pool and wellness industry, employing over 5,500 people. While Zodiac Pool Care Europe's headquarters are in France, the related entity, Zodiac Pool Systems LLC, has its principal address in Carlsbad, California, USA.
The company's product lines encompass robotic pool cleaners, manual cleaning solutions, filtration equipment, water treatment systems, heating and dehumidification units, pool automation, pumps, and various pool parts and accessories. These offerings cater to both residential and commercial pool owners, focusing on enhancing comfort, enjoyment, and ease of maintenance.
Zodiac Pool Care Europe is associated with one tracked U.S. patent litigation case as a plaintiff, "Zodiac Pool Systems LLC et al. v. Wybotics, Co. Ltd. f/k/a Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection and Technology Co., Ltd.". This single plaintiff-side case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, indicates an active posture in enforcing its intellectual property rights. This litigation profile suggests Zodiac is an operating company actively protecting its innovations rather than a non-practicing entity.
