A Passion for Waterproof Bags and Cases since 1983

Aquapac have been designing and making waterproof cases since 1983 in England. The founder, Max Malavasi, still runs the business today with the support of his brother Michael and a dedicated team which is now based in Nelson, Lancashire. We have always been innovators and pioneers in our field.

Our 1994 patent modernised reusable waterproof cases and our concept is now updated on our newest products.

Manufacturing is important to us as we can continue to control the quality of our products and learn how to continuously improve. Over the past 40 years, we have won 3 Queen’s Awards: for Export, Innovation and Enterprise. Our patented sealing system was chosen as a Millennium Product by the UK Design Council.

We are trusted to protect something valuable; so the quality of our predominantly British made products is continuously checked, tried and improved. Ours was the original innovation in this market, and we have never stopped using our intelligence and intuition to respond to the needs of our customers.

The way we work is transparent and collaboration with others is vital. We are responsible for the world our customers love; we care about keeping our products sustainable and the planet safe.

In 2021, we set up a US company to distribute our products in America.
In 2022, we set up a French warehouse to distribute our products across the EU.

The future 

We purchased and teamed up with Carradice in November 2021, another leading British brand which has been manufacturing bicycle bags since 1932 and UPSO upcycled cases since 2016. We are pooling our skills and now manufacture all of our products under one roof in Lancashire, using solar power for our electricity and using more and more recycled, upcycled and sustainable materials for our products while reducing our packaging annually.
