BECAUSE TRUST IS A GOOD
ENTREPRENEUR.“

Herbert Bodenbender starts his own business in the Hessian hinterland. For this, he takes on high debts and buys a suction truck.

The oldest son, Herbert Junior, takes over the company including debts after his father’s accidental death – and also the responsibility for his nine siblings and his mother, although he was not even of age according to the law at the time.

1974
Courage and energy are rewarded: The company is debt-free and the younger brother Heinz Bodenbender can join the company. In the following years, the family business continues to grow and the first TV vehicle is used to inspect sewers from the end of the 1980s.
1991
“I can see the damage in the pipes, so I can repair them myself,” is how Herbert Bodenbender feels. So the first own resins are developed and tested as early as 1991. Together with chemists from Bayer AG, resins are adapted specifically for sewer rehabilitation. The successful usage of the rehabilitation material led to the development of a completely independent system for pipe and sewer rehabilitation: PL®-Point-Liner® System, which is used in the company’s own service.

1994
As a product of the newly founded Bodenbender GmbH, the PL®-Point-Liner® system is launched on the market and the worldwide distribution starts. At the same time, training operations were launched. A little later, the PL®-Inliner System follows – also with a resin developed specifically and based on our experience: Combi-Tec® EP.
Both systems have the relevant DIBt approval.

Bodenbender has grown to 30 employees by 2012 and has been active both as a service provider and as a product developer and supplier for other sewer rehabilitation companies since 1991. Finally, the decision is made that the company no longer wants to be a competitor to its own customers – the service operation is discontinued.
