THE BECO GROUP: 100 YEARS OF HISTORY
The history of the BECO GROUP began in 1924, when Mr. C. Bergshoeff took over a local forge in Hagestein, Utrecht. After the Second World War, the real forge disappeared into the background and over the years various activities such as the manufacture of fire tubes and trading activities for agricultural mechanization passed. Steel constructions became the largest activity, which is how the name BECO came about, Bergshoeff Constructie.
1972: Moving
Business was good and the company expanded repeatedly, until in 1972 it had really grown out of its shell. The management decided to move to the 'De Biezen' industrial estate in Vianen, the location where the company is still located now, 2023. In the early 1970s, in addition to steel constructions, the production of agricultural tippers and attachments for earthmoving machines began.

Increasing Exports since 2003
In 2003, more activities were taken over, such as Boforce (now Beco Modifications), Bleijenberg (now Beco Grabs) and Buiscar Cargo Solutions, which significantly increased exports. In 2020, DOWA (belt unload trailers) and other special road trailers were added to the range that we call BECO TRAILERS.
The BECO GROUP is constantly developing
In 2024, the products from the five divisions (BECO ATTACHMENTS, BECO TIPPING TRAILERS, BECO MODIFICATIONS, BECO TRAILERS AND BUISCAR CARGO SOLUTIONS) are continuously being developed, new products and sales markets were sought.
