Since 1975, BODI Co.’s main purpose and philosophy has been to build a family business producing industry-leading quality products for the fiberglass tooling industry.

After 25 years with Allied Chemical & W. R. Grace pioneering Thermosetting Polymers (Polyesters & others), Stanley B. Mulder, founder of BODI, realized the industry he had spent a quarter century pioneering was beginning to finally mature with ample room for future growth. Mulder’s valuable experience selling Polymers to the Composite Industry led him to realize there was a great apparent need for quality laminating rollers, diamond abrasives, air tools and other specialty products.

In 1975, Mulder set out for Panama City, Florida with a trunk full of never seen before ½ x 3 plastic rollers. He had received an order for 60 of his newly developed rollers that day which led Stanley to develop his first line of laminating rollers. This marked the beginning of the 'Mom & Pop' business, "BODI Company, Inc.," named for a combination of two of Mulder’s children’s names (Bo and Dina). Selling these newly produced laminating rollers from the trunk of his car and while his wife, Margaret Mulder, took orders over the phone from their kitchen, Stanley embarked on what was the eventual rise of one of the top fiberglass tool manufacturing companies in the world.

Even after 50 years of operation, many of BODI's original customers from the days of selling rollers from a trunk are still proud customers today, a testament to BODI's dedication to its customers’ guaranteed satisfaction. BODI is extremely grateful and dedicated to its long-standing customers relationships. The same holds true for its long-term vendors.
