Timeline

Berdal has been the specialist in high-quality, durable plastic and rubber products for 50 years. We like to reflect on this, but above all we look ahead!

The past 50 years are mainly characterised by continuous growth. What started with the development of a rubber mug cap in founder Gert-Jan van Kamperdijk's garage, grew into an internationally operating producer and brand owner, with branches in the Netherlands and Poland.

Tijdlijn Omslag

Establishment of Berdal

The start of our family business

Launch of PremiumFol

Premiumfol allows home handymen to work with a complete range for air and waterproofing developed to professional standards. Due to its ease of use and high quality, DIYers easily and quickly solve various sealing problems of roofs, gutters and facades around their homes.

Start with Foliefol

Foliefol is our first range of technical films, packaging products and tarpaulins. From now on, our customers could assemble their product range from one supplier instead of several. In 2022 Foliefol ceased to exist as a brand and construction foils and technical foils were integrated within the Pandser total concept.

Start of production in Poland

With the establishment of trading company Budo-Plast, our production in Poland begins.

Start with Gripline

Under the name Gripline, we start producing and supplying construction buckets, building pits and mallet caps, among others, for the hardware, construction and DIY sectors. We keep quality and durability in our own hands through in-house production in the Netherlands and Poland.

Takeover of HK Plastics

Our organisation grows by acquiring HK Plastics, with two branches in the Netherlands and one in the UK.

Bas van Kamperdijk Managing Director

Bas, who has officially worked for Berdal since 1997, takes over as managing director from his father Gert-Jan.

Start with FENTO

As a premium partner of FENTO, we supply knee braces developed in cooperation with physiotherapists and based on user experience. The perfect fit and balanced pressure distribution ensure good working posture and thus prevent knee and back injuries.

Start with Pandser

Pandser offers a total concept for construction professionals. The range includes various foil types, durable EPDM strips, lead substitutes, tools and accessories for sealing roof, gutter and facade.

ISO 9001-2015 certification

By working to ISO standards, we secure and improve our processes to increase customer satisfaction.

Partner The Plastic Pact

As a partner of the Dutch Plastic Pact, we support the goal of using 20% less plastic in 2025 than in 2018. In addition, we further increase plastic collection and the use of recycled raw materials.

Cradle to Cradle hallmark

We achieve Cradle to Cradle certification for our roofing, waterproofing strips and waterproof EPDM films of the Pandser and Premiumfol brands. Professionals and home handymen can now build circularly with our EPDM.

Takeover of Loadlok Retail B.V.

At Berdal, we continuously strive to expand our service and product range. Through the development of sustainable rubber and plastic solutions, but also through our range of A-brands such as Gripline, Foliefol, Premiumfol, Pandser and FENTO. This is why we acquired Loadlok Retail with effect from 1 July 2021.

Start with Konvox

Smart products to secure loads and protect people during transport and on construction sites.

50th anniversary

We celebrate jubilee year 2022 with a festive event for all employees from the Netherlands and Poland. We are also working on the further development of our brand portfolio.

Rebranding brandportofolio

To continue offering our products successfully at wholesalers and retail chains in the future, we are further developing our strong brands. This way, we make it even easier for professionals and DIY enthusiasts to choose user-friendly, durable materials and high-quality tools. The updated house styles and sharpened resources - both online and offline - make our products more recognisable and, together with our dealers, we respond even better to changing market conditions.
