About Bona

From the start of our company in 1919, a constant thread has woven the foundation of Bona. Our values of passion, performance and pioneering are present in everything we do from our products to our company culture to our sustainable business practices. It’s not only how we operate the business, it’s how we interact in the world.

Our Story

Bona’s founder, Wilhelm Edner originally owned a small grocery shop in Malmö, Sweden where coffee was his favourite product. In the shop, he also sold bonvax, an agent which, when applied onto a wood floor, created a polished and protective surface. Edner realized the potential of bonvax and incorporated Bona AB in 1919. Now, 100 years later, Bona is the foremost leader in the hardwood floor industry with a wealth of innovation and knowledge all focused on bringing out the beauty in floors.

We believe it is our responsibility to do better and be better in everything we do.

Sustainability is core to our business and has been embedded in our company culture since 1919. What we’ve learned from 100 years of committing to sustainable practices is that sustainability is ever evolving. Rather than a destination, it is a multi-faceted journey that changes as our world changes. Developments in technology, new innovations and cultural shifts are all part of how we continue to create a better world.
