The company AQUAEL was established in the 80’s of XXth century. It was the time when aquaristics was very popular in Poland and there was a constant lack of aquarium accessories on the market. In such conditions, in the autumn of 1983 Mr. Janusz Jankiewicz – a fresh graduate of The Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering of Warsaw University of Technology – registered a private enterprise and assembled first 30 air pumps of own design on a kitchen table in a rented flat in Warsaw’s district of Praga. He packed them in a bag and walked to the nearest pet stores hoping to sell at least some of them. In the first store he managed to sell… all of them and the store owner was delighted with the unlooked-for delivery. Mr. Jankiewicz made his way back home as fast as he could in order to produce more pumps. Soon he moved from the small flat to a workshop and hired first workers. It wasn’t long before the company counted 30 employees, its machine park was gradually enlarged and new technologies were introduced. Soon new products appeared next to the air pumps: filters, heaters, aquarium sets… Today – after 25 years since its creation - AQUAEL is one of the biggest companies of its kind, employs over 550 workers, has at its disposal over 20 000 m2 of production facilities equipped with modern machines and offers over 1200 products to its clients.
