Turtle Pac was founded and the team is led by Laszlo Torok who has been involved in all aspects of inflatable manufacturing since 1978. A keen offshore sailor and scuba diver since 1974, Laszlo's life was changed when he barely escaped from the capsize of yacht "Hussar" during cyclone Lance in 1984. The experience prompted him to invent the world's first "Yacht Floatation System" in 1985. "To make the ocean a safer place" is not just a business motto, it is a mission. Laszlo remains a keen sailor having circumnavigated the world aboard his yacht from 1995-1999.
