About JUWEL Aquarium
JUWEL Aquarium AG & Co. KG has been developing and producing aquariums and complete system aquariums including filter technology, lighting, heaters, cabinets and accessories since 1969. Series production is carried out with robotic assistance at the headquarters in Rotenburg (Wümme), where an additional production and logistics hall was commissioned in 2014. Aquariums are manufactured with silicone bonding from glass and safety glass, with plastic top and bottom frames, curved front panes and components made of aluminium and borosilicate glass. In addition to aquariums, the product range includes the Bioflow internal filter systems with filter media, flow pumps of the Eccoflow series, LED light strips such as HeliaLux Spectrum and MultiLux, automatic feeders and decorative products. Based on the system concept, in which all components are matched to one another, the company distributes its products to more than 30 countries and has operated its own retail outlet in England since 1995.
