The history of Velda starts in 1969. Being a lover of fish an aquaria, Velda founder, Mr F. Veldhuis, started a small aquarium shop in Enschede. His activities were extended through the years and in 1977 a production hall was put into use besides the shop. In the mid-seventies activities were extended with the production of aquarium products. In 1990 the headquarters of Velda were realised at De Giem in Enschede. In the autumn of 2011 the finishing touches were put to the latest new development, the total area of the complex of buildings 21,500 m2 now. Velda has been a household word in pond biology for over 50 years.
