About Us

Over 50 Years 
of Australian Manufacturing Excellence 

Established on 2 February 1972, Abalone Aquasuits has been proudly manufacturing premium neoprene products in Australia for more than five decades. Founded by Jim and Eva Barany in Melbourne, Victoria, the company built its reputation on exceptional craftsmanship, innovation, and a commitment
to quality. In 1985, the business relocated to the Gold Coast, Queensland, where our purpose-built manufacturing facility continues
to serve customers across Australia. 

Today, Abalone Aquasuits remains a trusted wholesale manufacturer, producing custom neoprene promotional products exclusively for distributors and resellers. Our Australian-made products are recognised for their superior quality, fast turnaround times, and reliable service. 

From Professional Dive Suits to Promotional Products 

Our story began with the manufacture of professional-grade neoprene dive suits. During the 1970s and beyond, Abalone Aquasuits supplied specialised diving equipment to professional abalone divers, the Australian Special Air Service (SAS), the National Safety Council, Police Search & Rescue teams, recreational divers, and spear fishing clubs throughout Australia.
 As industries evolved and market demand shifted in the late 1980s, we expanded our expertise to include custom neoprene promotional products. This strategic transition allowed us to apply decades of manufacturing knowledge to create durable, practical, and highly customisable promotional merchandise for businesses nationwide.
