About POLIBOY
POLIBOY Brandt & Walther GmbH is a family-owned, medium-sized branded goods manufacturer of cleaning and care products headquartered in Lilienthal near Bremen. Founded in 1930, the company is now in its fourth generation and develops, at its site with approximately 61 employees, care products for furniture, leather, floors, metal and silver as well as wet wipes and specialty cleaners – from the furniture and floor gloss oil of 1939 to today's product lines such as NCP (Nature Care Products) with vegan-certified formulations. Formulation development takes place in the company's own research laboratory, established in 1967; here the company relies on renewable raw materials such as plant-based oils, waxes and sugar surfactants. Production, laboratory and shipping are located at the Lilienthal site, and all products are made in Germany. The NCP bottles are made of 100 % recycled old plastic from the German deposit system, and since 2020 a solar installation has supplemented the company's energy supply. The products are available through distribution partners in Germany and many countries worldwide.
