BS Verkstäder was founded in 1978 by Lars-Göran Schiller and Rolf Beijbom.
The business of renting out aerial work platforms was soon supplemented with workshop services focused on railway vehicles. Since the early 1990s, the main focus has been on extending the service life of railway vehicles.
Various types of specialist expertise have gradually been developed within the company. The ambition is to always be able to offer a comprehensive solution and to grow in line with market needs. The spacious locomotive shed in Falköping was acquired in 2001. Today, the company has two partners. In 2010, 2011, and 2016, BS Verkstäder was named a Gazelle Company by the newspaper Dagens Industri. The award goes to companies that are growing rapidly with good financial stability.
The production facility in Falköping consists of a roundhouse with 24 spaces, a main workshop with two 160-meter-long tracks, a 600-meter-long test track on the railway yard, and a washing and painting hall. There are also lifting jacks, overhead cranes, and plenty of parking spaces for railway vehicles.
