History

The Bona story started in the 1890s, when Wilhelm Edner opened a grocery shop in Malmö, Sweden selling coffee and various household products. The years went by, the business developed and, during the 1910s, floor wax came into the picture; a completely new product on the Swedish market at the time. In August 1919, Wilhelm Edner registered a company called Aktiebolaget Bona. This is the date that Bona, the floor care company, was founded, since then the company has exclusively worked with the treatment of wooden floors. In 2012, Bona AB became the official hardwood floor care sponsor for the NBA.
In January 2007, Kerstin Lindell became President and CEO of Bona AB.
In April 2015, Bona AB earned the Asthma and Allergy Friendly Certification for their free & simple® Hardwood Floor Cleaner.
