The history of Velda begins in 1969. As a fish and aquarium enthusiast, Velda founder F. Veldhuis started a small aquarium store in Enschede. Over the years, the activities were expanded and so in 1977 a production hall was put into use next to the shop. Thus, in the mid-1970s the activities were expanded to include the production of aquarium products. In 1990, the headquarters of Velda was realized at De Giem in Enschede. In the spring of 2011, the latest new building was completed, bringing the total area of the building complex to 21,500 m2. Velda has been a household name in pond biology for more than 50 years.

The Orbis collection is designed to seamlessly merge design and ecology. In 2025, our first Orbis product came on the market, the Orbis mini-pond. Each year we continue to expand the collection.
At Velda, we are constantly looking to improve our products. And also engaged in the development of new products and technologies. Ever since the foundation, we have focused on developing products that improve pond quality. As early as 2002, for example, our engineers developed a pressure filter with high purification capacity. To combat algae and purify pond water, we developed revolutionary techniques based on mineralization or ultraviolet radiation. For plant life in the pond much has been developed; such as floating plant islands and floating plant baskets with built-in lighting. There are also various products to protect pond fish, ranging from simple reflectors to a high-tech ultrasonic heron deterrent with flash light.
To further ensure the importance of innovation within our organization, our own research department has been established. Here, in addition to the far-reaching technological development for the pond, we also look at experience products for in and around the pond. Such as mood lighting and a floating see-through globe for admiring the fish. Ponds are not all the same, but for every pond problem Velda wants to offer a suitable solution.
Under the brand name Velda is offered a range of pond supplies that is distinguished by quality in combination with ease of use. Velda wants to transfer all the knowledge it has to other pond enthusiasts. So they, like us at Velda, can enjoy beautiful ponds that require little maintenance. Velda delivers what it promises: “quality made with passion for ponds. In recent years, Velda also pond-related products on the market that are suitable for balcony, terrace or even indoors. We are thus responding to the desire of consumers who do not have a pond, but do aspire to the experience of water.
