Marc Fjellbakk: A Modern Vision for Astro Piscines

In 2012, Marc Fjellbakk took over Astro Piscines, guided by a conviction rooted in his background in the financial sector: the sustainability of an investment depends as much on its quality as on rigorous oversight. His mission for the company can be summed up in one sentence:  “Astro Piscines: The best in swimming pools at a fair price in Switzerland.”

Under his leadership, the company grew from 4 to 25 employees over the course of thirteen years, while expanding its areas of expertise to include wellness and outdoor design.

From 4 to 25 employees in 13 years

Astro Piscines’ growth since 2012 reflects the growing trust of homeowners in Geneva and Vaud. We’ve expanded our team sixfold while maintaining a single point of contact for each project: this is the balance we’re committed to preserving, because the client relationship remains at the heart of the pool construction business.

The Development of the Wellness Center

Spas, saunas, steam rooms: since the recovery, wellness has become Astro Piscines’ second pillar. Homeowners are no longer looking just for a pool, but for a complete relaxation area integrated into their villa or garden. Our role as pool builders has expanded to include designing wellness spaces.

Expansion to pergolas and outdoor spaces

A pool doesn’t stand alone. It’s part of an outdoor environment—patios, shelters, landscaping, and furniture. To meet this comprehensive need, Astro Piscines has added pergolas and outdoor furnishings to its product line and launched the online store Aquastore.ch to make garden decor and furniture available throughout Switzerland.

H2 – Our method: from the first appointment to after-sales service

Step 1 – Customized study and transparent costing

We carry out a site audit, listen to your needs and constraints, then draw up a detailed estimate within 24 hours. We don’t give you an approximate fixed price: every line is explained, from structural work to finishing touches.

Stage 2 – Full coordination by a single project manager

A single Astro Piscines contact coordinates the entire project – earthworks, structural work, waterproofing, equipment and finishing. You always know where your project stands, who’s working on site, and when.

Step 3 – Commissioning and installation training

On delivery, we take the time to train you in the use of your pool, spa or pergola: automatic systems, water treatment, routine maintenance, winterizing. A well-understood pool lasts longer and costs less to maintain.

Step 4 – Service, maintenance contracts and store access

Once your system has been delivered, you benefit from responsive after-sales service, maintenance contracts adapted to your frequency of use, and direct access to our store in Nyon and to Aquastore.ch for your consumables and accessories.
