About BESI, Inc.
Family-Owned BESI, Inc.
Understanding the need for solid business partnerships, Bill worked hard to establish connections with both independent dealers and the major school bus manufacturers in the United States including Blue Bird, Carpenter, Collins, AmTran (currently known as International Truck and Engine) and Thomas Built Buses. These partnerships enabled BESI’s products to be sold through an independent dealer network as well as the bus manufacturer’s distribution centers allowing for a national showcase of BESI’s products. Known for producing high quality covers with the perfect fit, BESI, Inc. became the cover of choice throughout the United States and Canada.

Bill Moore – Founder (1944-2010)
In the early 1970’s, Bill Moore worked for a Wayne distributer where he was responsible for warranties and supplying parts to school bus garages. He soon realized quality school bus upholstery was a much needed, but difficult commodity to come by in the industry. Equipped with only a few sewing machines, Bill Moore used his knowledge of the industry to start his own company, founded on principles of honesty, integrity and a strong sense of customer service, known today as BESI, Inc.
