Jean-Pierre Bogaert

In 1979, Jean-Pierre Bogaert (JPB) laid the foundation for bonyf with a mission that was both simple and transformative: to create dental and oral-care solutions that meaningfully improve everyday life. What began as the ambition of a young dental professional with a passion for innovation has, over more than four decades, evolved into a globally recognized medical-device company defined by quality, safety, and scientific excellence.

His journey started with a practical insight. Early in his professional career, JPB observed that countless denture wearers faced avoidable challenges, broken prostheses, discomfort, and limited access to timely repairs. Determined to provide a safe, consumer-friendly alternative, he created bonyf’s first breakthrough product: a DIY denture repair kit. The innovation quickly resonated across the world. Millions of units were sold, establishing bonyf as a pioneer in accessible dental solutions and validating JPB’s belief that small, well-engineered products can significantly elevate quality of life. That early success set the tone for a long line of patented innovations, each rooted in scientific rigor, practical value, and a deep commitment to consumer well-being.

As the company expanded its capabilities, bonyf developed strong in-house expertise in medical device design, R&D, and high-precision manufacturing. This growth aligned with major regulatory shifts in Europe, most notably the introduction of the EU’s Medical Device Regulation (MDR), regarded as one of the world’s most stringent frameworks. While many companies struggled to comply, bonyf successfully completed the demanding certification process. The achievement reflects the organization’s ingrained culture of compliance, its technical depth, and its dedication to patient safety. As a fully MDR-certified company, bonyf now enters a new era of global competitiveness, backed by strengthened trust and enhanced market credibility.

A defining moment in bonyf’s recent evolution is the introduction of Periocream, a patented post-scaling periodontal cream designed for dental professionals. Created to support tissue healing and elevate patient comfort after scaling and root planing, Periocream represents a meaningful expansion of the company’s professional portfolio. Despite its recent launch, the product has already captured significant global attention. bonyf has secured two major commercial agreements, one in the United States and one in Europe, underscoring both its clinical relevance and the market’s confidence in the company’s innovation pipeline. With several additional partnerships under negotiation, Periocream is set to play a pivotal role in bonyf’s growth trajectory.

bonyf’s operational structure further strengthens its position. Manufacturing is based in Switzerland, reflecting the precision and quality that define the company’s standards, while the holding company, bonyf NV, is headquartered in Belgium and publicly listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange. This international setup allows the group to integrate Swiss engineering, Belgian corporate governance, and a global commercial footprint.

Throughout its four-decade journey, bonyf has remained steadfast in its founding values, entrepreneurship, scientific integrity, and a belief that genuine innovation must address real human needs. From the first denture repair kit to a robust portfolio of MDR-certified products, the impact of JPB’s vision continues to reach millions of consumers and dental professionals around the world.

As the company prepares for its next chapter, driven by the momentum of Periocream and a strengthened regulatory foundation, bonyf stands as a powerful example of longevity, resilience, and forward-thinking innovation in the European medical-device sector.
