The Bohning® Company was founded in 1946 by Rollin Bohning. A research chemist and avid archer, Rollin had become dissatisfied with the cements available to bond broadheads to hunting shafts. He developed Ferr-L-Tite™ adhesive for adhering hardware to wood and aluminum shafts. The product formulation has undergone several changes over the decades, but Ferr-L-Tite is still an industry standard today.

Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, Rollin continued to develop successful solutions for archers, including Doug Easton and Fred Bear, with whom he had become friends. Their collaboration led to the development of Bohning Fletch-Tite® Platinum™ fletching cement, a product so effective that nearly every archer has used it since its inception.

In the early 1970s, Rollin Bohning semi-retired from the growing company, and Colby and Martha Johnson became chief administrators. They guided the company throughout the 1970s and most of the 1980s, during which time Bohning Fletch-Tite Vanes were introduced. Larry Griffith became president of the company in 1987 when the Johnsons semi-retired. The company diversified into several new industries, adding to its overall growth and stability.

True to its founding principles, The Bohning Company, Ltd. continues to produce innovate new products that help solve problems in the industries it serves and maintains its long standing commitment to excellence in customer service.
