Bosal are one of the world's major exhaust system manufacturers. No problem using them. They are OE on many new cars. There was a plant in our town in Canada, but it seems to have closed (during recession, I think)
Quote:
The history of Bosal dates back to the 17th century when the Bos family, originally blacksmiths from Germany, settled in the Dutch town of Alkmaar. Bosal's name derives from the Bos family name and the initial letters of their hometown Alkmaar. There Karel Bos (1896) started supplying the first exhaust systems in 1923. The present cfhairman of the Bosal Group, Karel Bos (1928), founded the first Bosal plants in South Africa in the 1950s where he started the first production facility for exhaust systems.
After establishing a manufacturing operation in Canada, Mr. Bos started production in Europe in 1968. Now, Bosal has 28 production plants in 17 countries and 45 distribustion centers and is regarded as one of the most important suppliers of exhaust systems in the world.
From the production of steel tube for exhaust systems, Bosal has expanded and developed its product ranges. The company has also become one of the foremost producers of welded steel pipes, tow bars, roof carriers, warehouse racking and cabs for industrial vehicles. Bosal products are now sold in more than 100 countries throughout the world and have become an OE supplier for GM, Rover, Jaguar, Saab and Audi.
