Where we stand
Durability is not a claim, it is a result.
Let us be blunt: in a 50-metre pool you are not playing as an amateur. You are in the Champions League. And in the Champions League, equipment is not allowed to fail.
At Hexagone we do not sell robots. We sell legendary durability. But durability is no magic formula: it is a strategy of execution resting on four brutally realistic pillars.
01
A team of champions
Quality does not fall from the sky. It comes from a remarkable team obsessed with service. We choose first-rate components and the best manufacturing, because we know mediocre equipment always costs more in the end.
02
R&D that listens to the truth
Our R&D centre does not work in a laboratory, it works with you. We learned from your needs, and above all from your feedback in the field. High intensity is our test bench: a machine that can handle an Olympic pool can handle anything.
03
Zero obsolescence, 100% repairable
Durability means refusing to throw away. It means knowing how to repair and recycle. A breakdown is not a failure, it is a maintenance step — above all after 7, 10 or 15 years. With technicians on site, all-inclusive HEXAFIX contracts and preventive remote maintenance, your machine stays in service. Our machines do not age: they evolve through our updates.
04
Mastery through training
A robot only lasts if it is respected. We train your staff in good practice and your technicians from level 1 to level 3, through video tutorials and constant support.
Winning also means knowing how to invest. Excellence has a price, which is why we make our products reachable through long-term rental. You manage the budget, we manage the performance.
We have been here for 39 years, leading for your success, because your peace of mind is our only measure of it. Be demanding. Be bold. Choose what lasts.
Use and ergonomics
Looking after your staff
What you buy is used every day by somebody. Three commitments your own obligations already ask of you, and on which the equipment has a bearing.
Including people with disabilities
Inclusive, connected solutions. With the Spartel Secu-Relais communication system every member of staff stays reachable at all times: raise the alarm, assist and step in quickly, wherever they are in the building.
Preventing occupational risk
Hexagone solutions reduce occupational risk and improve working conditions. Combined with ozonated water units or on-site chlorine generation, they sharply cut the handling of chemicals.
Impact on the environment
Our cleaning robots and our chlorine or ozonated-water systems limit the use of chemicals and what they discharge. Thermal covers hold the pool’s heat and bring energy use down.
Tutorial platform
A dedicated space for good practice with your robots: a wide library of explanatory videos, and answers to most of the questions your staff ask about installation and use.
Commissioning, training and good practice: beyond the training our teams give at commissioning, we supply visual material to keep your teams up to date.
Ergonomics
People at the heart of the robotics
A robot spends its days with somebody. Every part touched daily — the cable, the screen, the trolley, the hatch — is drawn for that person.
Optimal storage
A high-quality self-floating cable designed not to tangle, with a sturdy reel for quick, tidy storage.
Intuitive interface
A colour touchscreen, waterproof and responsive, built for simple programming even with wet hands.
Easier handling
A light, balanced, manoeuvrable transport trolley on wide wheels for every surface — tile or resin.
Direct maintenance
Immediate, tool-free access to everyday wear parts (brushes, belts), for daily maintenance your own team can handle.
Certified training
Beyond the machine, the know-how.
Advanced equipment is nothing without mastery of its use. We support your teams with full training: good practice for preventing musculoskeletal disorders, first-line maintenance, and optimisation of working cycles. We commit to the wellbeing and the performance of your staff.

Commitment
HexaPülse: cutting our footprint at every step
The programme that carries the company’s decarbonisation and CSR work, from the design of a product to the day it is taken apart.
Impact on the environment
Lower consumption of water, electricity and detergents. Environmentally sound products, and restricted use of harmful substances.
Manufacturer responsibility
We fight planned obsolescence by building robust products from quality materials such as stainless steel, designed to last.
Recycling our waste
Towards zero waste: we commit to reducing and sorting our waste, and to maximising its recycling and recovery.
End of life
At Hexagone no robot is left aside. At end of life our products are dismantled and sorted, so that they are dealt with responsibly.
- ≈ 100%
- of our waste recycled today
- 100%
- of metals recovered
- 75%
- of non-recyclable waste recovered as energy
Our equipment is designed from the outset to be repairable, durable and easy to maintain.
Five reasons a public pool, a stadium or a sports hall chooses us — and stays.
A manufacturer, not a reseller
Built in France since 1987 in our 7,500 m² Argenteuil factory. You talk directly to the people who design and repair your machines.
Legendary durability
Two years of manufacturer warranty on every machine, and a design meant to last far beyond that. 96% of faults are repaired on site: the machine does not leave for a workshop, it goes back to work.
Local after-sales service everywhere
More than 100 people and dedicated regional technicians. Workshop trucks, on-site intervention and remote maintenance.
Costs that fit the public budget cycle
Purchase, annual or seasonal full-service lease with maintenance included. You pick the formula that matches your financial year.
CSR aligned with your obligations
The HexaPülse programme: reduced water and energy footprint, almost zero unrecovered waste, products designed to resist obsolescence. And a 100% electric service fleet.
The lowest total cost of ownership on the market
Spare parts and repair assured long after a product goes on sale. Against the fast obsolescence of competing products, a Hexagone machine stays the cheapest choice over time — which matters when the money is public.
A team of more than 100 people
To build our machines and keep them lasting. More than thirty nationalities, five divisions, and the same workshop since 1987.
