Beijing Sanxing

This Sanxing should not be confused with the much better known Sanxing Auto (三星汽车) from Guangdong Province. The Sanxing characters differ. The Beijing company is 三兴 and the Guangdong company is 三星. Beijing Sanxing Automobile was founded in 1956 as the 3603rd Factory of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (中国人民解放军第三六零三工厂). It was a typical military business, repairing and maintaining vehicles used by the Chinese army.

In 1980 when China’s economy started to open up, they changed their name to Beijing Sanxing Automobile Factory. The company moved into specialty vehicle manufacturing; building vehicles for the army based on existing truck chassis. The company’s designation was BSX.

Later on, they added civilian specialty vehicles to their lineup, like cranes and logging trucks. They also moved into the oil storage tank business, building storage tanks and oil tanker trucks.

In 2002 they became part of a larger company called Xinxing Machinery Group Corporation (新兴机械集团公司).
