Über uns
Sustainability has been an integral part of Berndes' identity in the cookware and kitchen sector for over 100 years.
Berndes - a story of innovations
Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Arnsberg, in the heart of the Sauerland. Heinrich Berndes founded a company that proudly bears the visionary surname of its founder to this day. Heinrich Berndes is driven by the idea of rethinking something very everyday: cookware! Innovation, functionality and high quality have been the premises under which Berndes produces pots, pans, roasters and the like for over a hundred years.
Already a revolution at the time
After numerous experiments with various coatings in the 1950s, Berndes was finally able to revolutionize the cookware market around 1976! The first non-stick cast aluminum cookware was born and with it a classic, the BONANZA® pan with its characteristic wooden handle made of Sauerland ash. Incidentally, it is still in the range today.
Many other innovations followed, such as the first colored cast aluminum cookware (1995) or the concept of providing pans with a durable, removable handle. The "Vario Click" series was born (2005).
It‘s a matter of responsibility
High-quality products are a matter of course for us, but also an obligation towards the future of our nature and our fellow human beings: today, tomorrow and in the future. Creating a positioning that is more than just a marketing label. Because now more than ever before we know that ensuring a good future very much depends on how we treat our environment and its resources today. What may have been good ideas in the past, are no longer necessarily quite such good ideas today... But we know what we need to do if we are to safeguard our common future, and that is to take responsibility for our actions today. And we at BERNDES are determined to do just that, which is why we have developed our b.green brand. Because for us it’s clear that b.green = be green!
Naturally sustainable - for today and the future
Sustainability is about responsibility – to nature, our health, and what we pass on to future generations. At BERNDES, sustainability is more than a promise. It’s part of our fundamental attitude and our day-to-day decisions.
Because if you want to show an awareness of sustainability in the way you live your life, you do not simply pay attention to what is on your plate, but also to where it comes from and how it is prepared. Healthy nutrition begins with food that has been carefully selected and properly cooked. And this is precisely the starting point for BERNDES: with a sustainable focus on quality and durability, we create the basis for a life in harmony with other people and nature.
Our decisions are unequivocal: we rely on secondary aluminium from recycled beverage cans because it conserves resources and reduces environmental impact. In addition, we use durable stainless steel products, which make a further contribution to sustainability and resource conservation thanks to their resistance and recyclability. We consistently avoid pollutants such as PFAS and heavy metals, as they have no place either in your kitchen or in our world. And our innovative b.nature quartz coating is a byword for natural materials that are durable, safe and health-conscious.
We were awarded the German Sustainability Prize in 2024 for our hard work – recognition that gives us renewed strength in continuing along the same path. Sustainability has many facets for us: from responsible choice of materials to energy efficiency in cooking. It’s about making the right choices – for you, for the planet, and for future generations
Products 2025 - together for tomorrow
The discussion about dwindling resources and suggested savings measures was not what initially prompted us to think about resources in products that are given a new lease of life through recycling. We have always used recycled material for our aluminium products was and is commonplace for us. Aluminium is used, not consumed, and remelting used aluminium requires only 5 % of the energy required for initial extraction.
Expanding our product range with stainless steel products fits in perfectly with our philosophy. Stainless steel is an extremely durable material, and it is logical that we already offer individual products made from 90 % recycled stainless steel in this segment, as well.
With the b.green label, we set standards regarding the sustainability of our products – for a smaller ecological footprint with maximum enjoyment.

b.vital
b.vital – Healthy Eating with the Right Cookware
A balanced and conscious diet is the key to greater well-being and vitality. It is not only about choosing the right food but also about its preparation. With the b.vital series, healthy cooking becomes even easier – thanks to well-thought-out features that preserve nutrients and simplify the cooking process.
Pasta, Noodles, and More – Enjoyment with System
Noodles are a classic favorite that delights in every situation – whether for children, students, or even professional chefs. The 3-piece pasta pot makes preparation especially simple. With a generous capacity, the integrated strainer insert remains in the pot during cooking, making it easy to remove the noodles. The pasta water can then be reused, or the residual heat from the pot can be used to keep the noodles warm before serving.
Gentle Steaming – Full Flavor and More Nutrients
For particularly healthy preparation, the b.vital steamer pot provides an ideal solution. Steaming preserves vitamins, minerals, and the natural flavor of vegetables, fish, or even tender meat optimally. The steamer insert ensures even heat distribution, so ingredients are gently cooked – without losing valuable nutrients to the cooking water.
Healthy Cooking Made Easy
Whether pasta or vegetables – with the b.vital series, healthy cooking is efficient and convenient. The practical inserts reduce unnecessary steps, save time, and ensure that food is processed in the best possible way. Anyone who values a conscious diet will find a reliable partner in this cookware.
With b.vital, healthy eating goes hand in hand with smart preparation – for more flavor, less effort, and an extra portion of vitality!

Vario Click - Upgrade 2025
Vario Click - 2025 even better
Our popular Vario Click series will be even better from 2025! With innovative improvements, this series sets new standards in terms of performance, durability and sustainability. The base now consists of sprayed-on ferromagnetic particles that not only optimize heat conduction on all types of stove - induction, gas, electric, glass ceramic or halogen - but also have a heat-resistant coating. This effectively protects the base from oxidation and ensures even greater durability.
The removable handle is more robust and even easier to handle thanks to an improved mechanism. Whether for cooking or baking - the pan is absolutely ovenproof and can be used as a pan or oven dish in no time at all with a “click”. Practical, space-saving and safe!
The new b.pure PRO non-stick coating has been further optimized and remains uncompromisingly non-toxic and CO2-neutral in the produc. With a rougher, reinforced surface, it is not only extremely resistant, but can also easily withstand metal kitchen utensils. Berndes gives an 8-year guarantee on the series - proof of the uncompromising quality and durability of the Vario Click series.
Look forward to perfect cookware that guarantees pure cooking pleasure and meets the highest standards of sustainability!

b.free
Our "greenest" pan made from 100% plastic-free & aluminum cans
The b.free series was recently awarded the German Sustainability Award 2025! Our contribution to a better future: sustainable cookware made from recycled materials, free from harmful chemicals, and designed with smart ideas for greater environmental protection.
We use exclusively recycled aluminum cans in the production process. The can you recently drank from could now be in your b.free aluminum pan. Recycling these cans saves the world from harmful chemicals and reduces the energy required for processing by up to 95%.
PFAS-free
We take the lead by setting a good example and rely on know-how and good ideas for sustainable cooking enjoyment. And thus ensure a healthy future for people and nature. We also do not use heavy metals, plasticisers and all so-called forever chemicals like PFAS/PTFE. The properties and performance of our b.nature quartz coating are already setting new standards in the cookware sector in terms of durability and long-lasting non-stick effect.
Packaging with a second use
Once opened, the packaging of b.free products can be used as a practical pan protector. It is designed to provide excellent protection for the inside of the cookware when stacked. This prevents chips and scratches. Simply clever!

b.iron
As hard as iron
A new addition to our BERNDES Specials is the b.iron series. Cast iron pots and pans were used by our grandmothers and, if well looked after, our grandchildren can do the same. Of course, our b.iron series is also largely made of recycled material, which is essential for BERNDES’ claim to sustainability. Cast iron also stores heat for a long time and releases it evenly, which can save a lot of energy when cooking.
True all-rounder
Our b.iron products are perfect for braising. Once browned, a delicious roast can cook in its own juices for a long time, because the aroma points on the inside of the lid allow the water vapour to condense and drip evenly back into the pot. However, it‘s not just juicy roasts or crispy fried food that can be cooked in the pan, our b.iron pots can also be used to bake breads. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – perfect. Moreover, with b.iron you don‘t need to use your kitchen cooker at home, these products can also withstand the heat of a campfire for very special moments of enjoyment.
Genuine color highlights
We are launching this new product with two trendy colors. One Vespa green and one with a black-grey gradient. Both colors are absolutely trendy and timeless.

b.terra
b.terra – The Natural Choice for Conscious Cooking
The new b.terra range, crafted from high-quality terracotta, embodies the perfect balance of naturalness, sustainability, and healthy food preparation. This premium material is sourced from Germany and Europe, with a special highlight: the German terracotta stands out for its unique composition, making it exceptionally shock-resistant and highly durable.
