From the self-production to finished product
It is not so much the company history but rather an important story above all, which shapes Bedifol and distinguishes the company from others by its very origins.
The idea for Bedifol came when Thomas Berkenkämper bought himself a digital camera and was not satisfied with the existing solutions on the market to protect the device. He therefore obtained some film material and cut it to size for his purposes to protect the most sensitive part of the device, i.e. the screen. He cut the rest of the film up similarly and then successfully sold his first protective films on eBay.
The company's roots still define Bedifol's attitudes towards its products, its partners and its customers. Bedifol still develops its products with the same passion and meticulousness as though the company were producing for its own requirements. And even today Bedifol is its own most critical customer.
