At present, fully automated technological lines enable the company to manufacture flake and granulated foods for aquarium and pond fish and reptiles, grain mixtures and extruded foods for small mammals and birds, and preparations. At the turn of 2009-2010, a new production line was completed. This investment included the construction of a modern extrusion line, which produces granules, pellets and sticks, characterised by the best possible parameters. All the foods are manufactured using high temperature/short time treatment (HTST) technology.Thanks to highly specialised processing, the food does not disintegrate in water, and thus does not change the parameters of the water. Products are also precisely adjusted to the needs of specific species of fish: their nutritional demands, environment, way of feeding as well as the form, size and the level at which they prefer to feed in the body of water.Restrictive norms are followed at all production stages, as proven by ISO and HACCP certificates.

According to Tropical, it's an innovative way of combining the opportunity of actually seeing the product without opening it, with the safety of the product.

It motivates the company to seek new solutions, which it shares with its clients. It forces the company to continuously improve its products, to cooperate with various clubs of fish enthusiasts, support numerous undertakings, sponsor competitions, championships and zoo exhibitions, and…
