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.
