IT ALL STARTED WITH THE COURAGE TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.
THE FAMILY BUSINESS
BENTLAGE looks back on almost 100 years of company history. What makes BENTLAGE special is its courage to try new things. It took courage to start your own business back in 1928, between the two world wars.
Friedrich Bentlage dared to do so. Today, our company has the expertise gained from a long tradition of always being able to master new challenges.
BENTLAGE was born with a pioneering spirit when Friedrich Bentlage opened up a new field of business by founding the company: the printing of decals using the lithographic process, which became so successful because of their versatility.
THE SUCCESS STORY CONTINUES.
Knowing that courage and pioneering spirit are virtually embedded in the company's roots, Bentlage now offers its customers not only a range of services from screen printing and flexographic printing to digital printing and modern processes such as in-mold labeling. Today, it is also about comprehensive solutions, process optimization, and services.
BENTLAGE is a friendly knowledge center: large enough for market leaders, but also small enough to treat every customer with equal appreciation, personally and with all its expertise.
CREATING NEW VISIONS.
Bentlage does not rest on its laurels. The desire both to constantly develop and to acquire and inspire customers with expertise, quality and state-of-the-art products is part of our corporate DNA. There is no road too long and no task too big. This has not only provided Bentlage with a large base of regular customers, but also made it into a robust business with continuous growth.
Since 1995 Christopher Hettlage, grandson of Friedrich Bentlage, has been in charge of the company. He has done so since 2004 with the support of Brigitte Alers, who founded bsb-label and has been working in the roll label business for over 30 years. The mission of both directors is to work together to think about the future and to help their own customers to make progress – as initiators of challenging technical and decorative labelling and signage solutions.
Securing the future in the present with the experience of the past.
Sustainability and continuous development are firmly anchored in the company's philosophy. With innovative, resource-saving solutions and a clear focus on environmental responsibility, the company is constantly working to develop sustainable products and processes. This is not only about quality and expertise, but also about treating natural resources with respect and inspiring customers with sustainable innovations.
This attitude has not only earned BENTLAGE a loyal customer base, but has also made it a resilient, growth-oriented company—with a sense of responsibility for future generations.
Christopher Hettlage, grandson of company founder Friedrich Bentlage, leads the company with a clear view of ecological and economic issues of the future.
Together, everyone at BENTLAGE pursues the goal of actively shaping sustainable solutions and, as a partner to its customers, providing impetus for environmentally conscious, technical, and decorative labeling concepts.
LEGALLY CORRECT, ETHICAL, SOCIAL
Together with our employees, customers, and partners, we are committed to positive change and strive to actively shape the future.
BENTLAGE stands for tradition and innovation, and we are proud to contribute to a better world.
