About Us

Due to our innovative strength, we receive enquiries and develop products for various industries that want to position themselves technologically for the future.

Our History

2010
Foundation of BSS GmbH and realignment

As part of the reorientation and reorganisation, the company concentrated on its core competencies with today's four product areas. Since then, the focus has not only been on product developments in the field of building technology, but also on product developments for the areas of systems, machines, transport and valuables containers. Existing merchandise has been discontinued, and the development and manufacture of high-quality and unique products and solutions is the top priority.

2014
Introduction of vehicle locking system VetraLock and bolt switching contact RK-Lever®.

The focus on product developments shows first results and the market launch of the vehicle locking system VetraLock and the patented bolt switching contact RK-Lever® takes place.

2015
Start of the partnership with Lürssen

BSS starts a partnership with Lürssen, the market leader for superyacht manufacturing. As part of this partnership, the very innovative HD (Heavy-Duty)-Lock for exterior doors and hatches is developed.

2016
Bubbling Innovations

This year sees the market launch of no less than three new products. With the RK-Smart II bolt switch contact, BSS is introducing another unique bolt switch contact for lock monitoring. This contact is characterised by a very simple, alternative installation method. Furthermore, a security seal for prisons and an electromechanical locking device for espagnolette locks are introduced to the market.

Due to unique USPs, our innovative HD (Heavy-Duty) Lock is nominated for the Boat Builder Award 2017 at the leading superyacht trade fair Metstrade in Amsterdam.

Every current and future BSS product serves to create added value. This means that BSS products support our OEM partners and installers to develop positively from an economic and technical point of view, without losing customer benefits (comfort, safety, damage prevention)."
