This partnership, running until 2026, aims to co-promote Hoffmann Green's 0% clinker cements throughout Piscines Magiline's extensive international network of distributors, partners and pool formwork builders.

Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, said: "The signing of this partnership with Groupe Piscines Magiline reflects our ongoing strategy to diversify our activities against the current trend of a depressed new housing market. We are honored to support a key player in the pool construction industry as they implement their development strategy towards carbon neutrality."

The use of low-carbon concrete, manufactured using Hoffmann Green cement, is fully in line with this approach. By adopting Hoffmann Green's solutions, we can significantly lower the carbon footprint of our structures while preserving their high quality. Our ambition is to expand our network of distributors across France to offer these eco-friendly solutions. »
