Description

Are you ready to dive into the booming $11.5+ billion US swimming pool market with a globally recognized, innovative, and proven business model? The Desjoyaux Pools franchise offers an unparalleled opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs in the United States. As the world's leading manufacturer of in-ground concrete swimming pools, Desjoyaux has built an international reputation for excellence, quality, and revolutionary patented technology.

Unlike traditional pool businesses saddled with complex piping and high maintenance, Desjoyaux has redefined the industry with two proprietary, cost-effective, and durable systems: the Active Permanent Casing structure and the Pipe-Free Filtration system. This dual-concept allows for unlimited customization (any shape, any size), rapid installation, superior durability, and significantly reduced operating and maintenance costs for the end-user. For the franchisee, this means a distinct competitive advantage, a high-demand product, and simplified installation processes. Positioned firmly as a pioneer of affordable, high-quality residential and commercial pool solutions, Desjoyaux is rapidly expanding its footprint across the USA, making now the perfect time to secure a prime territory and build a successful, community-focused business around the ultimate backyard luxury.


Why Invest in the Desjoyaux Pools Franchise?

Investing in a Desjoyaux Pools franchise is an investment in a resilient, high-growth sector backed by a global powerhouse.

  • Patented, Differentiating Technology: The exclusive pipe-free filtration system eliminates the need for complex, leak-prone underground pipes, reducing installation time, material cost, and the potential for costly future repairs. This is a massive selling point over competitors.

  • Monolithic, Customizable Structure: The Active Permanent Casing creates a single, incredibly strong concrete structure that allows for complete creative freedom in pool design—a major draw for the custom-loving US consumer.

  • Global Brand Recognition: With a presence in over 80 countries and over 240,000 pools installed worldwide, you leverage the strength, experience, and established brand authority of the world's largest pool manufacturer.

  • Strong US Market Growth: North America is a major player in the global swimming pool market. With a corporate headquarters and flagship showroom established in Roswell, Georgia, since 2011, Desjoyaux is committed to accelerating its US expansion.

  • Vertical Integration Advantage: As a manufacturer, Desjoyaux controls the entire supply chain, ensuring consistent quality, innovation, and potential cost advantages in product sourcing.

  • Essential, High-Ticket Service: Building and renovating pools are high-value, high-demand services driven by home value appreciation and the desire for personalized outdoor living spaces, a trend that accelerated significantly in recent years.


Background

  • Established Year: 1966

Desjoyaux has since grown exponentially through a network of dealerships and subsidiaries, demonstrating a commitment to constant R&D with 3-4 patents filed annually. The company has been listed on the Euronext Paris Stock Exchange since 1991, remaining approximately 75% controlled by the founding Desjoyaux family, now in its 4th generation.

  • Global Market Presence: Present in over 80 countries with over 400 dealers globally.

  • USA Market Presence: Desjoyaux Pools North America opened its corporate headquarters and flagship showroom in Roswell, Georgia, in 2011, marking a strategic entry into the vast US market. The brand continues to focus on developing its dealership network across key US territories.
