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, a completely new product on the Swedish market at the time, came into the picture. In August 1919, Wilhelm Edner registered a company called Aktiebolaget Bona. This is the date that Bona AB, the floor care company, was founded, since then the company has exclusively worked with the treatment of wooden floors. In 1997, the American division of Bona made a partnership with Orange Glo  International (purchased by Church and Dwight in 2006) for their Orange Glo-branded products, such as the Orange Glo Wood Cleaner & Polish, and later the Orange Glo Hardwood Floor Refinisher, followed by other Orange Glo products. In January 2007, Kerstin Lindell became the president and CEO of the company. The current CEO of Bona AB is now Pontus Cornelius. In 2012, Bona became the official hardwood floor care sponsor for the NBA. In April 2015, Bona earned the Asthma and Allergy Friendly Certification for their free & simple hardwood floor cleaner.
