History

  1. Foundation of the company

    1996

    With more than 50 years of aquarium manufacturing experience and extensive knowledge of aquariums, José Pereira created Aquatlantis together with his three children, focusing on a more dynamic concept and equipping the company with advanced technology machines and specialized human resources. To this day, Aquatlantis has remained true to its principles, which have enshrined the motto of "Quality, Design and Innovation" and made it a leading company in aquariums production.

    Already with more than 30 years of experience in Shopfittings, Aquatlantis began in 2001 the manufacture, installation and assembly of displays for pet shops, fully customized. At this time, the company achieved double-digit growth in the average annual rate.
