1967
Herbert Bodenbender started his own business (us) in the Hessian Hinterland, taking on considerable debt and buying a pump truck to do so.
1971
His eldest son, Herbert Junior, took on the company along with all of the debt after his father’s accidental death – not to mention responsibility for his nine siblings and his mother, despite the fact that he wasn’t even of full age according to the law at the time.
1974
Courage and energy pay off: the company is debt-free and his younger brother Heinz Bodenbender was able to join the company, too. Over the subsequent years the family company continued to grow and started to inspect sewers with the first TV truck at the end of the 1980s.
1991
“I see the defects in the pipes, I can repair them myself too,” thought Herbert Bodenbender. And so, in 1991, the company started developing and testing its own resins. Together with the chemists at Bayer AG it developed resins specifically for sewer renovation. The successful use of the renovation material led to the development of a completely standalone system for pipeline and sewer renovation: the PL® Point Liner® system – used by the company in its own service operations.
1994
The PL® Point Liner® system from newly founded Bodenbender GmbH is launched on the market and global distribution begins. The training business is launched at the same time. This is followed by the PL® Inliner system – also featuring in-house resin developed based on our experience: Combi Tec® EP.
Both systems are accredited by the German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt).
2012
By 2012, Bodenbender had grown to 30 employees and has been acting as a service provider, product developer and supplier for other sewer renovators since 1991. Finally the decision is made at Bodenbender to stop competing with its own customers and the service business ceases to operate.
2017

2018
The production and warehouse hangars are expanded in the course of an extension. This coincided with the launch of the Bodenbender Online Academy, which saw the expansion of our range of digital training offerings.
2019

2020
Bodenbender (Switzerland) AG – the first foreign subsidiary in Bodenbender’s history – opens.
2022
A move to new company headquarters saw us relocate from 32 to 13 Goldbergstraße. This means more space for production, storage and research and development. New training and meeting rooms have been set up, too. We switched from open-plan offices to individual offices.
2024
Expansion of the Bodenbender corporate group: purchase of Bavarian family company IPA Bauchemische Produkte GmbH.
