Fluidra was founded in 1969 in Barcelona, Spain by four families (Planes, Serra, Corbera and Garrigós), creating the first company called Astral Construcciones Metálicas.

[6] Over the years, Fluidra has become an international company with around 6,000 employees working in production centres and sales offices located in more than 45 countries in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, and Africa.

[7] Fluidra's executive president is Eloi Planes and the CEO is Bruce Brooks.

[16] Fluidra works in the pool and wellness sector, manufacturing and distributing equipment to build, upgrade and maintain a swimming pool, i.e. filtration, pumping, disinfection and water treatment, LED lighting, heating, cladding, as well as ornamental elements, together with connected applications (APPs) that allow remote control of the installation.

Research from Yale University published on 10 August 2022, identifying how companies were reacting to Russia's invasion identified Fluidra in the worst category of "Digging in", meaning Defying Demands for Exit: companies defying demands for exit/reduction of activities.
