Quality pledge

Made in Germany – successful worldwide

The secret to our success is a skilful blend of intensive research, patented products and quality assurance pursuant to IFS Food. IFS Food is a standard for the assessment of food quality and safety. And so, over more than 60 years, our brand has succeeded in building great trust in our products and quality, both with our customers and our retail partners.
 

Today, Tetra products are sold in more than 120 countries worldwide through a global network of regional affiliates located in countries such as France, Great Britain, Italy, Poland, the U.S., Japan, Singapore and China.

Research for healthy ornamental fish and happy aquarium owners

Intensive research and development are always at the forefront of our work, helping to make aquatics an easier, safer and more user-friendly hobby all the time. Our Research and Development department is unparalleled in the aquatics industry. 

Here, our highly-qualified employees, including biologists, chemists, vets and process engineers, are responsible for developing new products, enhancing existing ones and carrying out quality management activities. The department works closely with our global marketing team, who use global market research studies to find out exactly what customers want. Thanks to this intensive collaboration, the products that Tetra develops meet the needs of animals and aquarium owners alike. 

We now have a variety of products that are patented, produced using patented technology or contain patented components.
