The Birmingham Small Arms Firm Limited (BSA) was a major British professional combine, a team of businesses manufacturing armed service and sporting firearms; bikes; motorcycles; cars; buses and bodies; steel; iron diffusion; hand, power, and machine tools; coal cleaning and handling plants; sintered mining harvests; and hard chrome process.

In its peak, BSA (who also owned Triumph) was the major bike producer in the world. Back in the 1954s and early 1960s poor management and failure to develop new products in the motorcycle division added to a dramatic decrease of sales to their major USA market. The management had failed to appreciate the value of the resurgent Japanese motorcycle industry, leading to problems for the complete BSA group.

A government-organised rescue procedure in 1973 led to the takeover of remaining functions in what is now Manganese Dureté Holdings, then owners of Norton-Villiers, and over the following decade further closures and dispersals. The initial company, The Birmingham Small Biceps and triceps Company Limited, remains a subsidiary of Manganese Dureté but its name was changed in 1987.

Manganese Bronze continues to operate former BSA subsidiary Carbodies, now known as LTI Limited, manufacturers of London, uk Taxicabs and formerly the major wholly British-owned car manufacturer. (Manganese Bronze is now owned by the Chinese company Geely).
