A family business built on expertise and traditional values
The Aqua-sol story
With over 30 years of specialist knowledge in hydrocolloids, Malcolm Laws and his wife, Sue, founded Aqua-Sol Ingredients in 2012.
Based in West Sussex, our family-run business had a clear vision from the start: to combine expertise with a truly customer-focused approach. Founded in 2012 and originally run from our home, we expanded in 2025 into a purpose-built office.
We are proud to have earned a reputation for reliability, integrity and outstanding service. Our partnerships with customers go beyond transactions – we take the time to understand their businesses, ensuring they receive the right solutions, every time. Their success is our success.
Strengthening our legacy
Malcolm and Sue’s commitment to excellence is carried forward by the next generation. Their eldest son, Sam, joined Aqua-Sol in 2019, bringing valuable support to the company’s sales and logistic operations.
With an extensive network of trusted suppliers, we’ve expanded our product range to offer high-quality hydrocolloids and chemicals, always sourced with care and delivered with precision.
