Our history and our values

Our history

Created in 1995 by Jean-Marc Graciano, accompanied by his wife Joëlle Graciano with the activity of manufacturing hydraulic valves for irrigation and drinking water supply networks.

In 2001, Matthieu Graciano took over the management of the company with the aim of developing the distribution network and strengthening industrial partnerships. In 2007, Romain Graciano joined the team. Aqua'Tec then developed a range of services and turned to the international market and developing countries. The humanitarian commitment and the desire to invest in actions and projects aimed at improving access to drinking water in the world are therefore firmly rooted in Aqua'Tec's values.

Since then, Aqua'Tec has surrounded itself with employees, including Emma in the sales department and Sylvain in logistics are the pillars. Our company remains on a human scale but is committed to providing the best possible service.

In 2020, we decided to give our visual communication a facelift. This new visual identity is an evolution of the image of Aqua’Tec, in order to better correspond to the current dynamics of our company.

Your satisfaction, our priority:

"I wanted to thank you personally for your responsiveness and your professionalism, all this during a period that does not allow us to be fully available. Your interest and knowledge were really appreciated."
