Our Company:

DENIOS was founded in 1986 in Germany when Helmut Dennig innovated the very first oil spill pallet. One day, when changing the oil in his Volkswagen, he realized the need to take responsibility for the spilled oil. In the 1980s people were often careless about these small oil spills, yet he was aware of the greater impact on the environment. Thinking ahead, he created a prototype container for collecting the oil ‐ which today we know as the spill pallet.  

While DENIOS was inspired by nature and passionate about its protection, it was an environmental disaster that was the catalyst for our founding.  

An incident at the Swiss chemical company Sandoz, one of the biggest chemical disasters in Europe, occurred in the same year. The devastating results proved there was a massive, unaddressed need for the  containment of hazardous materials.  

Helmut Dennig grew his simple yet effective spill pallet prototype idea into a well‐trusted global company specializing in hazardous material storage and work safety products for many industries.

DENIOS now has 35 locations across the globe, with 6 major manufacturing sites, where we design and produce over 500 different models of the original DENIOS spill pallet as well as

over 14,000 other workplace safety and environmental protection products. 

In 1990, we opened our US with locations across the globe ‐ like our 100,000‐square‐foot engineering, sales, and manufacturing facility in Louisville, KY ‐ we design and produce everything

from the original spill pallets to large‐capacity chemical storage lockers and buildings.

DENIOS is the world’s leading manufacturer and supplier of products and services for HAZMAT storage, occupational environmental protection, and work safety.

Our Motto: “Because nature relies on us.”
