DENIOS US is a key part of its German parent company and was established 36 years ago. It has been centrally located in Louisville for the entirety of its existence, due to the location being an ideal geographic distribution hub throughout the Midwest and East Coast.
“The people make it happen,” said Diego Rodriguez, DENIOS president and CEO. “Their passion and dedication keep not only our facility safe, but their expertise, innovative approach, and reliable service keep customer facilities operating safely and productively.”
DENIOS employs nearly 100 people at their Louisville factory, with wide ranging skills including manufacturing, logistics, engineering, support, sales, marketing, administration, purchasing, and more.
The company offers a wide range of handling and storage of hazardous materials – in small and bulk quantities.
The Louisville facility is chartered with extending the brand presence to other countries while continuing to gain market share in the existing core countries of the US and Canada by introducing innovative products and make them accessible through direct, resale, and digital channels.
While touring the plant Beshear saw how many DENIOS spill containment, hazardous material storage, and workplace safety solutions help protect people and the environment.
“It was a pleasure to tour the facility and celebrate 40 years of success making innovative products that keep workers safe,” Beshear said. “Thank you to the team at DENIOS for hosting me and for their continued commitment to Louisville. I look forward to seeing how they continue to leverage Kentucky’s unmatched logistical advantage to ship these important products across the globe.”
Rodriguez said it was an honor to welcome the governor to the DENIOS facility.
“It was a great opportunity to showcase the incredible work our team does every day to help companies protect their employees, communities, and the environment through innovative safety solutions,” he said.
The latest innovation is the creation of a service department to install, inspect, and repair equipment like flood and spill barriers and provide maintenance to keep these and other products performing optimally.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate the first 40 years, and look forward to the next four decades,” Rodriguez said. “When you are surrounded by a group of talented, passionate, and dedicated contributors in all positions there are truly no barriers to achieving our goals.”
