BSS Industrial is a British specialist distributor of heating, ventilation, pipeline and mechanical services equipment, based in Leicester. The business was previously part of the BSS Group until the group's acquisition by the Travis Perkins Group in 2010.
The company was founded in the East Midlands in 1899 as British Steam Specialties. Acquisitions have included specialist valve distributors Pegler & Louden in December 2003.
Other acquisitions by BSS Group include UBM Cadel (rebranded as PTS) in 1999, Price Tools in 2006, Buck & Hickman in 2007 (subsequently sold in 2011 by the new owners of BSS), Birchwood Products in 2008, Direct Heating Spares in 2009, and UGS, a privately owned underground drainage merchant, in 2010.
The board of BSS accepted an indicative £553 million takeover offer from Travis Perkins on May 28, 2010. The acquisition was completed on December 14, 2010, when BSS Group shares were delisted from the London Stock Exchange.
