company history

brass beds?

The meaning of the three, simple letters, “BSI”, has evolved since its beginnings as Brass Smith, Inc. in 1979. The Denver-based company that started as a custom fabricator of brass rails and bar fittings transitioned its product line to include brass food shields to meet market demands.

A milestone event occurred for Brass Smith with the introduction of ZGuard™, the first patented, component-based, adjustable food guard. Its engineering and design far surpassed anything available in the marketplace and transformed food shields from bulky barriers to sleek shields that make food the focal point.

In 2009, Brass Smith, Inc. came together with a rapidly emerging stainless-steel fabrication company, Kevry, to form BSI, LLC. With the combined skill sets of both companies, BSI came to be known as the business it is today—the foodservice industry’s finest choice for comprehensive servery solutions.
