BBH Tsuchiya was established in 2006 when the Japanese parent company Tsuchiya Co. bought a majority stake in the original BBH Label Factory. BBH Label Factory became part of the Tsuchiya Group and was renamed BBH Tsuchiya Ltd. In 2010, the parent company bought the remaining stake in BBH Tsuchiya and became the exclusive owner of the company. Since then the production has begun to concentrate more on the automotive industry.
