About Us
Aqua-Pak was incorporated in 1986 in response to a need that was developing for insulating packaging for the burgeoning salmon farming industry. Operations commenced in 1987 in a plant in Surrey, B.C.
Seafood Packaging
The company designes and produces packaging systems that became the standard in the industry, not only in B.C. but in other parts of the world, and quickly became known in the western United States and Canada as the specialist in insulated seafood packaging. In less than a year, shippers of live and fresh wild harvested seafood were adopting the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) systems developed by Aqua-Pak, and the company became the dominant force in packaging for the aquaculture industry.
Construction Products
The company has expanded its markets into the construction field. In 1994, Aqua-Pak started manufacturing a new, patented EPS building system called Quad-Lock Insulating Concrete Forms, marketed worldwide by Quad-Lock Building Systems, Ltd. In addition to its success in North American markets, steady growth throughout Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and other parts of the world testify to increasing interest and growth. The potential for this product is unlimited.
Molding
Aqua-Pak is known as a "shape molder", an EPS molder specializing in molding complicated shapes, primarily for packaging, as opposed to the more common "block molder" who produces EPS blocks which are generally sliced into sheets and used for insulation. Aqua-Pak is the largest EPS shape molder in the Pacific Northwest.
