About Us
Located in Burnsville, Minnesota, BSM North America has been designing and manufacturing off-highway steering systems and components since 1982.
As a trusted OEM partner, we serve equipment manufacturers across the U.S. and Canada who rely on our in-house engineering, fabrication, and assembly capabilities to bring complex designs to life — quickly, accurately, and efficiently.
We take pride in being a one-stop shop for OEM product development, combining responsive service with the flexibility to handle both prototype and production quantities. Every product is proudly made in America and built to perform in demanding off-highway environments.
Our fully in-house process includes design, machining, welding, assembly, and testing, allowing us to maintain total control over quality and expected lead times.
BSM North America specializes in:
We also offer secondary services such as painting, plating, and heat treating — simplifying your supply chain and ensuring consistent results.
At BSM, every project starts with engineering collaboration. Our team works closely with OEMs to develop customized, application-specific solutions that meet exact performance requirements. With advanced technology, hands-on experience, and open communication, we ensure every product is built to precise tolerances and proven reliability standards.
By keeping design and manufacturing under one roof, we deliver shorter lead times, consistent quality, and full design traceability — from concept to completion.
BSM North America is committed to producing 100% American-made components, typically in quantities ranging from 100 to 500 per production run. This focus allows us to maintain exceptional quality control while meeting the evolving needs of modern OEM manufacturers.
Whether you need a custom steering column, a complete e-steering solution, or support for your next prototype, BSM North America is ready to help.

Durability testing helps verify that off-highway steering components can withstand repeated mechanical loads, vibration, shock, temperature changes, moisture, contaminants, and other demanding operating conditions. Testing steering columns, actuators, joints, sensors, and related components can identify potential failure points before production. Mechanical cycle testing and electronic validation also help OEMs evaluate component performance, structural integrity, and sensor consistency throughout the intended application lifecycle.
Heavy equipment manufacturers frequently face critical delays when sourcing prototype components from overseas suppliers. This article highlights the benefits of partnering with a domestic manufacturer like BSM North America, which offers in-house engineering and fabrication to deliver custom prototypes in just 2 to 3 weeks while minimizing transit risks.
E-steering, or steer-by-wire, uses electronic sensors, controllers, and actuators to transmit steering commands instead of relying solely on a conventional mechanical connection. In construction equipment, the technology can support variable steering ratios, reduced steering feedback, flexible cab layouts, automated guidance, multiple steering modes, and remote operation. These capabilities can improve operator ergonomics, machine control, automation readiness, and energy management when properly engineered for the application.
