Export business to be further strengthened

The Tropical sample display.
Today the “Tropical” brand name is widely known and associated with top quality products offered at reasonable prices. The majority of products in the range are foods for aquarium and pond fish, plus many other products, mainly for the aquarium.
The extent to which the company has expanded is underlined by the opening of a third production facility in 2000, in which a major part of the company’s activities are concentrated today. The current premises, which occupy 6,500 m², encompass production halls, technical back-up, administration and stock. The company presently employs over 100 people, including qualified staff who supervise production with regard to legislative and veterinary regulations.
The domestic sales department sells Tropical products to most Polish pet shops (according to trade statistics there are currently about 4,500-4,800 in operation).  The company’s share of the Polish pet industry market is significant and still increasing. The international sales department exports products to about 40 countries in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa. Outside Poland the largest markets for Tropical foods are Germany, Israel, Russia, and Italy, but regular export shipments are sent to Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Cyprus, among others.

Currently the overall range numbers about 150 products offered in different sizes and packaging, from small sachets for the owners of small aquariums, through several sizes of tins for enthusiastic aquarists, to economy-size buckets for professional breeders or garden pond owners.
In 2003 the company changed its packaging from the cardboard-aluminium standard used hitherto to a fully air-tight type of uniform construction and produced from neutral materials, and automatically sealed with thermosealing film.
