BONECO AG

The Family Copany since 1956

Today, the family-owned BONECO AG is part of the PLASTON Group. The company is globally active in portable air treatment solutions for living areas. It all began in 1956 in a garage next to the family home - actively supported by the entire family. Despite trying economic conditions, Hans Frei and his son Roland Frei founded the company PLASTON. This turned into a success story that continues today under the brand BONECO healthy air. In addition to plastic products for industry, products for the domestic sector were also developed, manufactured, and successfully marketed over the years.

THE YEAR 2026 IS A SPECIAL YEAR FOR BONECO.
We are proud to celebrate our 70th anniversary! For seven decades, we have been creating products that bring healthy air into homes and workplaces across the world. This achievement would not be possible without our loyal customers and passionate employees. Thank you for being part of our journey — the best is yet to come.

1956 FROM THE GARAGE OUT INTO THE WORLD.

It was the time of the pioneers. Apple, Microsoft, Ford, Harley Davidson, Plaston. What connects these companies? They were founded in the garage and have established themselves internationally a long time ago. 

The success story began in 1956.

POSSIBILITIES WITH PLASTIC.

The beginnings were not immediately characterized by air treatment equipment, but by classic household products such as salad servers.

1963 THE LAUNCH OF HUMIDIFIERS.

Roland Frei

"I was actively involved in my studies at the Plastics Institute of the Technical University in Aachen, Germany The main emphasis of my diploma thesis was the development of an air humidifier system that, using the heat produced by a radiator, was able to raise the air humidity level during heating periods. Since then, PLASTON has successfully produced and sold hundreds of thousands of air humidifiers based on this system."

1991 FOCUS ON HUMIDIFIERS AND AIR PURIFIERS.

By saying goodbye to common household products and concentrating on the development, production and distribution of air humidification and air purification products, the company aimed to become the market leader in this market niche.

ON THE PATH TO A PUBLIC BRAND.

Having two in-house brands was the proper strategy for many years. In order to become a public brand, however, we have introduced the "BONECO healthy air" brand. "Healthy air" says exactly what BONECO stands for. Awareness of healthy air will continue to increase around the world. We would like to use the potential of this need. All products and all markets are being unified under the BONECO healthy air brand.

2015 AUTONOMY AS A NEW INCORPORATED COMPANY.

BONECO AG was founded in April 2015. BONECO AG is part of the PLASTON Group and will continue to operate as a family-owned company. Jörg Frei, the son of company founder Roland Frei, is head of the company as the president of the board of directors.
