The Right Idea at the Right Time
While we are inspired by nature and passionate about its protection, it was an environmental disaster that was the catalyst for our founding.
DENIOS founder Helmut Dennig came up with the idea for the first spill pallet in a very everyday situation: when changing the oil in his a little old Volkswagen. In the 1980s, people were often careless if a little oil spilled, not to mention the disposal of the old material. Even then Dennig was aware that something had to be done, so he created a prototype container for collecting the oil - which today is a spill pallet.
When the incident at the Swiss chemical company Sandoz, one of the biggest chemical disasters in Europe, occurred in the same year, the devastating results showed us there was a massive, unaddressed need for containment of hazardous materials.
The principle of a Spill Pallet is as simple as it is effective: Drums or other containers are stored on a grating that covers a trough-shaped body. If a drum is leaking or if something goes wrong during filling and decanting, it ends up in the sump and not in the sewer system.
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.
