Hayward Acquisitions

Hello ePoolSupply supporters!

On June 2, 2022, Hayward announced the acquisition of the specialty lighting business of Halco Lighting Technologies. Halco's specialty lighting business includes a robust portfolio of lighting solutions serving the residential and commercial pool, spa, fountain, and landscape lighting market segments.

The products are recognized as industry leaders in their respective categories and include established lighting brands such as:

• ColorSplash,
• J&J Electronics,
• PureWhite, and
• Sollos.

J&J adds the best, highest-quality pool and spa lighting offerings in the industry. Their lights are a great addition to any existing structure, also providing a variety of lighting options to transform your space. Sollos Landscape Lighting offers a variety of fixtures and finishes that enhances gardens, landscapes, and outdoor settings. The dynamic functionality of options provides safety, and quality illumination. With superior thermal management, Sollos fixtures can operate both halogen and LED lamp technologies.

The acquisition reinforces Hayward’s leadership and commitment to the pool and spa lighting business and marks another step in the company's entry into the landscape and bulb market. They will be able to provide the ability to control even more of their outdoor living space in the palm of their customer's hands by leveraging Haywards leading OmniLogic automation technology. OmniLogic, Haywards cloud-based pool and spa automation platform, has long set the industry standard for pool control and management. OmniLogic plays a central role in Hayward's innovative SmartPad collection of connected equipment.

This acquisition builds upon Hayward’s strong growth momentum, following the earlier announced acquisitions of water works. Hayward's portfolio of technology and products is working to deliver more sustainable, energy-efficient, and easy-to-use solutions for the outdoor space.
