Our history in woodworking
We believe in the importance of change and continuous improvement. A slow but constant and unstoppable growth that is always connected to the past, and nourishes on it to improve the present and the future. It is a lifestyle that involves all components of Borma Wachs on a path of awareness and mutual integration. It is an imperative, a destiny of our evolution.
1928
B.P.S srl was founded as a family owned company and now is led by the fourth generation with a true passion for touch up, finishes and universal wood products. Everything started in 1928, when ANTON BRAND founded in Germany the first specialized company bringing his name. Since then, the company grew and thrived, with a constant attention to high quality technology with a sustainable environmental impact.
From the first experiences of the master carpenter Anton Brand, who used to deliver the items by bike, we have passed to the engineer Theodor Kaus, who could count on the car to deliver our universal wood products
1978
In 1978, with the intention of combining technology and creativity, the know-how was transferred to Italy. The change was directed by Franco Bortoluzzi, an Italian emigrant to Germany, who accepted the challenge with enthusiasm and determination: Borma Wachs was then founded in Jesolo, near Venice.
Borma Wachs, today BPS srl, is led by the fourth generation, with the ambition to keep alive, share and improve a century-old tradition, trasmitting to the newest generations the passion for the wood care and treatment industry, with an extreme attention for quality and eco-sustainability to develop the best universal wood products.
Today Borma Wachs is a leader in the natural wood treatments: the respect for the environment comes first.
All our products are strictly compliant with the European regulations on emissions of potentially harmful vapors into the atmosphere, in order to respect the environment, the health of those who work and those who then live in contact with the items treated with Borma Wachs solutions.
In addition to this ethical care for the environment and to those who trust us using our products, we are also active in the communication of all the technical information and the ecological and safety certifications of our products: from VOC free to Safe for Children's Toys, our technical data sheets explain the importance of this ecological choice at 360°, also helping the customer to choose the best products for himself and for the environment.
LEGENDA
Conformity EN 71.3 Toy safety - Part 3: Migration of certain items.
Eurofins danish laboratories have recognized the conformity of Borma Wachs oils to EN 71-III norm, relating to the migration of harmful heavy metals, guaranteeing the safety of the treatments in such a way that they can also be safe for use on childrens' toys.
Labeling of construction products
This label covers the French legislation relating to emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and the impact they have on indoor air quality after the product is brought into the room.
Labeling refers to the pollutants emitted once the products are spread and dried.
The IBR Green Building Institute had tested some of our products and determined that they correspond to the highest standards of the aforementioned French VOC legislation.
EMICODE EC1 - Low-emission building materials
Certified installation materials, adhesives and construction products
The EMICODE mark guarantees that the material has been tested and certified according to its emission level. Compared to 1997, low-emission building materials now have a TVOC value (total quantity of volatile organic compounds) from one hundred to one thousand times lower. The EMICODE mark is not issued if a building material is suspected of altering genetic makeup, causing cancer or impairing reproductive capacity.
APEO (alkylphenol ethoxylates)
APEOs (alkylphenol ethoxylates) are highly persistent chemicals, which are deposited in the tissues, penetrating, through them, into the food chain.
Recent studies demonstrate its toxicity and danger, as potential endocrine disruptors.
HACCP
Compliance with HACCP, an acronym for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, means adhering to a food safety management system that aims to identify, evaluate and control hazards that can compromise the wholesomeness of food. In practice, it involves adopting preventive measures to ensure that food is safe for consumption.
