About BERNDES

Berndes | A long story of innovation told quickly

Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Arnsberg. The year is 1921. Heinrich Berndes founded a company that would continue to bear the visionary's surname for many decades to come. Heinrich Berndes is driven by the idea of rethinking something very everyday: cookware! Innovation, functionality and high quality have been the premises under which Berndes produces pots, pans, roasters and the like for over a hundred years.

Urge for innovation right from the start

What is happening today in our high-tech laboratories and workshops began to gain momentum on a smaller scale starting in 1950 and with the company's thirtieth anniversary. Scientific and mechanical tests with the working materials led to a novelty around 25 years later.

1976

The BONANZA® pan revolutionized everyday kitchen life for private households and professional chefs in 1976. It was the first non-stick pan to conquer the market and is still an absolute classic today.

1995

Berndes was always keen to experiment. This also applies to the color of the cookware. This is how white cookware was designed back in the 80s. What wasn't particularly popular back then is now more popular than ever in an ultra-modern version. In 1995, however, an even bolder step was taken: colorful cookware. The series: Color Cast.

Since 2019

Berndes sees the urgent need for more sustainability as a challenge and project of the present. For this reason, not only sustainable pan series such as the b.free and b.green series have been brought onto the market for years. The production of all other products should also have little impact on the environment in the future. Berndes achieves this with sophisticated packaging designs, carefully selected raw materials and well-thought-out manufacturing processes.
