The story behind Airquee Ltd.

Airquee has gone from humble beginnings as a small sideline to an international manufacturer and supplier of high quality affordable inflatables. 

Back at the beginning it existed as part of another company where designers Ryan and Rob were working. Phil went into partnership with the inflatable side of the business, later buying the owner out, making a fully independent business. Airquee Ltd in its current form has been in existence since 2003, when Phil and Mark became company directors. The company head office moved from Tintern to Bristol, and they continued manufacturing in Bristol.

By 2007 demand had grown in the inflatables market, and while other company’s were struggling to manufacture, Airquee was still going strong - but more people and space were needed. At a time when many other companies were going to China for their products, Airquee wanted to avoid this. By having their own factory Airquee could ensure their high standards were maintained in the manufacturing process, guaranteeing better quality, faster delivery times as well as lower costs to the customers. Through contacts made at exhibitions, Airquee was introduced to the idea of manufacturing in Europe. They were put in touch with contacts in Romania and the rest, as they say, is history!

11 years on and Airquee Ltd has gone from strength to strength. We now have a full office in Bristol, two factories in Romania and 147 employees between both! We’re currently in the peak season for production and the factory is full to the brim!
