About Us
Alxyon is an entrepreneurial reality arising from the will of the two founding partners to make available to the aquarium hobbysts both the truly effective products and the knowledge necessary for a simple and successful management of their tanks.
The alxyon project was born in 2016; from the occasional meeting of Fabrizio Lattuca and Andrea Mantegna.
Both long-term aquarists (from the late 70's, F. Lattuca and from the late 80's, A. Mantegna), over the years they have acquired a whole range of experiences (including professional ones) in the field, such as to lead them to develop a good amount of products and projects in various areas related to aquaristics.
From the purely chemical part, such as mineral supplements and chemical tests (F.Lattuca), to the technical one, such as lighting fixtures for freshwater and marine aquariums (A. Mantegna).
Both known in the Italian aquarist field for publications and presences on the websites of the sector, they come into contact with the idea of exchanging each other's experiences and knowledge.
From there, due to mutual esteem, they quickly reach the idea of creating a company that could produce on a larger scale the products that over the time they have developed and used temselves, each in their own areas of interest, being able to share them with a greater audience of enthusiasts .
In 2018 Alxyon was born and went onto the market firstly with the PhytaGen line of products and protocol; with the aim of allowing enthusiasts to create ornamental aquariums in which to cultivate even the most demanding plants, while at the same time being able to fully enjoy their hobby with the utmost simplicity.
We have always believed that certainty and repeatability of the result at the highest levels, combined with great ease of use, are what the aquarium market really needs and are therefore our guiding principles.
Over the time, the PhytaGen line was followed by many other products and protocols, expanding alxyon's offer; which gradually came to cover all the needs of the various sectors of the aquaristic market.
In addition to its presence on the aquaristic market with its own brand, Alxyon formulates and produces on behalf of third parties for leading international companies and provides consultancy and products in a wider range of markets, like aquaculture, hydroponics, horticulture, micropropagation, analytical chemistry ... and more.
But, beyond the science and research involved, ALXYON remains a company of enthusiasts for enthusiasts
