Company history

François Benais and Max Saint-Hilaire founded Issy Automobiles Plastiques in 1969 . The location was at 20 Boulevard Voltaire in Issy-les-Moulineaux . They started with the production of automobiles. The brand name was BSH . From 1971 Marland SARL took over production in its branch in the same location. Marketing under the BSH brand ended at the end of 1971 when François Benais withdrew. By then, 56 vehicles had been built. Marland then sold the vehicle under its own brand name. The total production number is about 400 vehicles.
