Overview

Piscine Castiglione is a leading company in the swimming pool industry, specializing in private pools and having supplied swimming pools for six editions of the Olympic Games, as well as countless public swimming facilities and major hotel chains under its international brand, Myrtha Pools.

The company stands out for its ability to combine engineering expertise, innovation, and a high degree of customization to deliver unique projects. This industrial vision translates into an ongoing commitment to quality, sustainability, and digital transformation.

The highly customized nature of its projects involves a large number of suppliers and requires advanced, structured, and highly efficient logistics.
