Join us on a journey through the history and evolution of AERÉ Docking Solutions.
The Birth of PRAKTEK, Inc.
The story begins in 1998 when AERÉ Docking Solutions was still PRAKTEK, Inc. Founded with a vision of developing and implementing “practical technology” products, the company had its roots firmly planted in the marine industry. Headquartered in the picturesque Coral Springs, Florida, PRAKTEK, Inc. embarked on a mission to create innovative solutions that would address the unique challenges faced by boaters and the marine community.
AERÉ Docking Solutions Emerges
As the years rolled by, PRAKTEK, Inc. underwent a transformation, not just in name but also in the scope and scale of its offerings. The company evolved into AERÉ Docking Solutions, a name that would become synonymous with excellence in marine technology. This rebranding was not just a change of name; it signified a commitment to providing cutting-edge products and solutions for docking and vessel protection.
The Signature Product Lines
AERÉ Docking Solutions boasts three signature product lines, each representing the pinnacle of quality and functionality in the marine industry:
