one of the first online-shops in Germany. Search-machines were happy to
found us.
Headquarter:
Aquapac
International Limited is based in London, England and is home of
management, development, design, production and distribution since 1982.
Aquapac is world market leader in waterproof cases. The products are
sold in more than 60 countries. We have an own design-team, with
designers who were educated at the best design-schools. Our modern high
frequency welding machines to weld the foil are served by well trained
personal.
How it started
The
company startet in a pub in London – where else? Three enthusiastic wind
surfers met there to have a beer. And had the idea to listen to their
favourite music when on board. During this time the first walkman was on
market. Shortly afterwards the first waterproof cases…
Awards
Aquapac was honoured with the Queen’s Award for Innovation. That
followed a previous Queen's Award for Export Achievement. At the end of
the 1990s the British Design Council selected our Aquaclip® sealing
mechanism as a Millennium Product. Two more Queens Awards followed, the - for now - last in summer 2012 when Aquapoac was honored for the sucess in export.
For your satisfaction
As
you can see we take care of our products for years now. We stay in
contact with our customers and looking for the best solutions every
time. And looking for new stakes always. You can use your Aquapac in
your leisure time for biking, hiking, trekking, snorkelling, diving,
swimming or what else. Or you can use it in your business: if you have
to work outside under extreme weather-conditions, in icy hall, in the
stable or where else. Everywhere where your electronical equipment could
be damaged: by rain, snow, fog, dust, sand or dirt. Special whises our
customers could be fulfilled quick and to the point.
For the big clients
Even
special orders of the industry are not a problem. For example you need
maybe some hundred cases for a special event or a campaign with the
brand and/or the colour of your company on the Aquapac? No problem. We
worked with T-Com, Viag Intercom, Debitel, e-plus, NTTDoCoMo of Japan,
Siemens, Nixdorf, Motorola, Nokai, Canon, Kodak, Mitsubishi, Renault,
Volvo or Yamaha.
Our Service
All
customers are equal. If you order until 1.30 pm your order will leave
our house the same day. If its later and you need your Aquapac as soon
as possible please send us a message. A couple of years ago, we send an
order directly to the airport in the afternoon. So our customer could
take his Aquapac to the Maledives the next morning…
Our Philosophy
We make less advertising. So we need satisfied customers and their mouth-to-mouth-propraganda. So our reputation is our future.
Our
Philosophy: To make for you products that we ourselves would want to
own. And to treat all our customers the way we ourselves would like to
be treated.
Environment
As a company
dedicated to helping people get more from their love of the outdoors, we
think it's important that we do what we can to minimize our impact on
the environment.
This is nothing new. Aquapac has always sought to do the right thing in matters environmental.
Our
products are made of plastics (i.e. petroleum-based). It would be nice
if we could make them from bamboo or hemp, and maybe that's not as
whimsical as it sounds! We know of one or two emerging technologies that
could make these seemingly fantastical pipe-dreams into an achievable
reality. You can be sure that we'll be keeping a keen weather eye on
these new developments.
100% PVC-Free
In
the meantime, although it's costing us a whole lot more, we've
committed to move our entire production to a more environmentally
acceptable plastic.
Last year (2008) we are going 100% PVC-Free. For
our foils we are using PU (Polyurethan), a high quality and flexible
coating with a high density.
We seek to use materials as economically as possible, keeping off-cuts to a minimum.
Other
than a tiny amount of glue used on a small number of cases, our
manufacturing processes employ no toxic products, and generate no toxic
waste.
Although there are varying opinions on the effects of PVC on
the environment, we are nonetheless sourcing materials that have more
universally-accepted environmental credentials
Biodegradable Packaging
Aquapac
stopped using PVC retail packaging a couple of years ago. At that time
we moved to PET clamshells. Since the beginning of 2007 Aquapac has been
trialling recyclable boxboard packaging. And trialling PVC-free, PU
cases also.
From January 2008 all Aquapac's retail packaging
worldwide will move from PET clamshells to recyclable boxboard backing
and header cards. Accessory packs will be made of degradable polythene,
which is 100% compostable. The polybags that the products are shipped to
dealers in will be made of potato starch, which is 100% compostable. We
could have cook our lunch out of them.
End-of-Life Recycling
Aquapac
is committed to doing its part to protect and preserve the environment.
This is in the interest of protecting and preserving the Great Outdoors
which we love and enjoy, for the benefit of ourselves and of future
generations. We can all make a positive difference - simply by thinking
carefully before sending any waste to landfill. When Your old Aquapac
has reached its end just put it in the yellow bag. It can be recycled.
Fossil Fuels
Apart
from the plastics our cases are made from, the biggest part of our
carbon footprint in London is our electricity use. Our high-frequency
welding machines run on electricity. We're not talking big figures
though. Our total fuel bill in London last year - both offices and
factory - ran to less than £3k. The headquarter of Aquapac-Aquaman
Germany GmbH is residing in a low energy house.
What is our philosophy?
We
rarely advertise. The chance of hearing from us through word-of-mouth
and recommendations is high. Therefore our reputation is our future. We
cannot afford unsatisfied customers.
To make for you products that we
ourselves would want to own. And to treat all our customers the way we
ourselves would like to be treated.
