About us ?

Our company, dedicated to ceramic products, was created in 1979 and in 1987 developed a new range of aquarium décors.

The Aquaroche trade mark was registered at the same time.

All our products are made in our different workshops in Glénic - France.

Meeting aquarists.

Discussions with members of the Aquarist Association in Limoges led us to create specific shapes according to their needs.

The idea was to create shelters and territories for fish, whilst bearing in mind the restricted volume of the aquarium.

Our solution was : sculptured ceramic rocks, both aesthetic and easy to use.

The opportunity to share a booth with Atelier de Marianne (company specialized in aquarium furniture) during the Expozoo trade show in april 1987 was the beginning of the adventure. This collaboration with Atelier de Marianne is still going on, especially during Expozoo in Paris and Interzoo in Nurnberg.

Our participation in the exhibition Animaqua near Paris for many years, and in the Rencontres de l'aquariophilie marine in Strasbourg, gave us the opportunity of creating links with passionate aquarists who test our new products and provide regularly much appreciated help during Expozoo and Interzoo.

Biotopes and research.

From the beginning, our aim was to create a natural environment in aquariums, with an esthetic result and the creation of a biotope.

This biotope is intended to be the best method of developing the different stages of aquatic life, providing a good and lasting physicochemical equilibrium, with territories, for a long time. This last point is very sensitive in the case of reef aquariums where the equilibrium is developed over years, thus requiring careful selection of the products used for the decoration.

Being located in the Limousin region of France, an area rich in the raw material for ceramic production, we are able to select clays which provide lasting quality.

Year after year, constant research, with the help of the Limousin research agency (Anvar, Arist) and the University of Limoges, has enabled us to create new products, to improve the porosity...

In our opinion, aquaria has to be eco-responsible. It is a way of considering nature, that must lead to a better knowledge, a respect, a preservation and not a destruction of the milieus. We always keep this in mind when we create new products.
