Benders is a family-owned business that was founded in 1960 in Edsvära, in the country setting of Varaslätten. The headquarters remain there to this day, with both the children and grandchildren of the founder, Karl-Erik Bender, are owners. Many of them are actively involved in the company. Today, Benders aims to be a turnkey supplier of products and services for the construction and civil engineering sectors, specialising in products primarily made from concrete, as well as clay tiles, natural stone, steel, and complete prefabricated construction elements.
Ever since starting in 1960, our ambition has been to satisfy customer needs. Our operations are permeated by a local presence and a local responsiveness to the business climate. Together with receptiveness, this provides the foundations for long and strong relations with customers, suppliers and, not least, personnel. From the start onwards, positive development has contributed to Benders now being active in several different business areas and establishing itself as one of the market-leading producers of concrete and natural stone products in the Nordic countries. At the same time, our shares of the new markets in Europe are ever increasing and our ranges in construction products and construction systems grow with every season.

Why Our Core Values Are Important! Benders core values reflect the qualities the company strives to embody and be associated with. They give us, as a company, an identity and a soul. Our core values have therefore been carefully chosen and are meant to guide all of us in our daily work—individually, with colleagues, and when working together with customers and suppliers. This is what we call the 'Benders Spirit'! /Ove Bender, Group manager |
