BE Group’s history began at the end of the 19th century, when brothers Hans and Jöns Edstrand founded Bröderna Edstrand. The family business was based in Malmö and mainly offered commercial steel to local industry. Trelleborg AB took over ownership in 1988 and, together with Nordic Capital, a jointly owned company was gradually formed, also including Starckjohann Steel (founded in 1868) in Finland.
At the end of the 1990s, the company established units in several countries around the Baltic Sea, including Poland and the Baltics. The European expansion continued in the early 2000s and in 2006, after Trelleborg AB divested all of its shares, the company was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange under the common Group name BE Group AB.
In 2008, the joint venture alliance ArcelorMittal BE Group SSC AB was formed. In 2022, the rebar business was expanded in Sweden with a new factory in Norrköping, BE Group Produktion Arvika was acquired and Lecor Stålteknik was divested.
