BINDER GmbH & Co KG

It all started with pool covers...

BINDER GmbH & Co KG was founded in 2003 and initially concentrated exclusively on the production of drives for swimming pool covers.

Company founder Siegfried Binder knew from his close contacts in the industry that many pools have no cover and therefore quickly cool down. He saw a gap in the market and began producing electrically driven roller shutter systems.

Under the name MecaTec, the company also began to produce tube and manhole motors for well-known pool cover manufacturers with great success. Today, BINDER is one of the leading manufacturers in this area.

The idea for Siegfried Binder’s next invention was inspired by a customer who was unsatisfied with the performance of their counter-current system. Binder decided to develop his own system with a much wider and more powerful flow.

Two things were important to us when developing HydroStar:

A broad, powerful current that cannot be swum through and which carries swimmers in a way that allows them to fully concentrate on their technique

Easy and intuitive operation

In addition, we wanted our counter-current system to be energy efficient, in order to protect the environment and your wallet. After years of trials and developments we finally found the solution: our turbines. They create a current that is quite similar to that of a river. To this day, no other counter-current system can do this. The feeling of swimming in nature – this you can only get from us.
