History

edit

BAS World was started in 1992 when BAS Trucks were created and in the following year multiple subgroups were added.[2] In 2021 the name "BAS World" was created for all the sub categories.[2] BAS World is headquartered in Veghel, The Netherlands and operates as a subsidiary of BAS Group.[3]

Since 1962 the main owner of BAS was Martin van Heertum. The sons Casper and Bas van Heertum worked for the company from 1992.[2] However, when the disaster struck in 2000 and their father died of an intracerebral hemorrhage, the brothers decided to continue the business and took over the company.[2] Originally founded 60 years ago as Brabant Automobile Service, the company has evolved significantly through comprehensive digitalization.[4]
