I felt I should update this post as the things have changed from when this was first posted in early 2023 and has apparently been causing some confusion for people finding this post. At the time of the original post there had been an Instagram post by Aqualu with information about the company's future before a buyer had been found. That has changed!

Aqualu Industries is NOT closing, but rather the company's founder, Todd of Aqualu, is looking towards retirement, which initially led to some confusion about the company's future. The company has clarified that a new owner has bought into the company and will not be shutting down and are, in fact, increasing production and working on new projects. They will continue to offer all the quality products to the off road industry they have for the past 35 years!

No Closure: Aqualu Industries is staying open and continuing its operations!

Founder's Retirement: The confusion stems from the founder's potential near-future retirement, not the company's closure.

Increased Production: The company is ramping up production and working on new projects, with a Facebook update in April 2024 stating they are committed to preserving the Aqualu legacy.

Keep Updated: For the latest news and exciting developments from the shop, follow Aqualu Industries on their Facebook and Instagram pages!

Oh no!!!!!
I also have projects (dreams) in the wings that require these guys!!!!!!!
 
Discussion I've seen is that people have looked into buying the business, but that not being quite "stand alone" is the issue. You sort of need a larger aluminum fabrication business to support it. Hopefully the right match will come along in the coming months and things will continue.
 
Good to hear that things will continue on! Just to be clear, the new ownership will continue making the bodies?
 
Just thought I would give a update on what I seen going on when I stopped by aqualu while passing thru in the past week. Talked with Todd and by no means are the body's going to cease production. Had a tour around the shop and it appeared to be the exact opposite of slowing down. If anything production is ramping up! Lots of different body's and components on the go being built and crated ready to ship! Just thought I would share the good news with the other cruiser heads
 
Great to hear! From what I've seen on IG they still seem to be churning things out. Did they have a change of mind or is there new ownership or...?

Another smaller niche business - Hoosier Profiles - had announced their retirement a few years back and said to get final orders in. The response has been so good that they're still going.
 
For sure exciting for the cruiser community!
I was just passing thru so don't know the back story but I would guess it's similar to what your saying with Hoosier where the demand for the product out weighed Todd's decision to retire. That or his passion continuing was worth pushing retirement a few years.
 
Just updating this post along one other, taken off their social media accounts they are having a 10% off sale for the rest of the month and it seems they have taken on a new owner. Dont think the aqualu stuff will be going away anytime soon.
