EOS Coach Manufacturing NV was a Belgian based company created in 1990 when the coachbuilding activities of LAG Pvba were separated from the main business of building construction equipment, semi-trailers and aluminium tankers. The LAG company was founded in 1947 by brothers Lambert and Arnold Geusens - their initials making the company name. This formalised the business started by the brothers during the 1930s.

Following that separation EOS Coach Manufacturing was then sold to the famous Belgian coachbuilder Van Hool which continued to build EOS models until circa 2001-2002 which were badged as Van Hool from the late 1990s.
