What BBB Industries makes

BBB Industries, which rebranded to TERREPOWER in February 2025, is a sustainable manufacturer and remanufacturer of non-discretionary automotive, industrial, and energy parts. The company takes worn cores back through advanced remanufacturing, reengineering, and material-recovery processes and returns them to the market at OE fit and function, alongside a growing catalog of new service parts. Its automotive lines cover alternators and starters, power steering (pumps, racks, and electric power steering for EVs), braking and hydraulics, turbochargers, fuel systems, electronics, wheels, lighting, and mirrors.

The catalog runs across more than 20 brands. Automotive names include OE-TurboPower and Vision-OE, plus Wilson, Genco, Superior, Endurance, and Platinum for starters, alternators, and steering, and MC for new essential parts. Collision brands such as All Star Auto Parts, BlackBurn, and Elite Auto Lights cover wheels, mirrors, and refurbished lighting. Industrial and hydraulic work runs through Hydraulex, Metaris, and Turbo Power Systems, and the European rubber-and-metal lines run through Metalcaucho, Redline, Fare, and Cautex. Beyond traditional aftermarket parts, the company has extended its remanufacturing model into EV battery lifecycle solutions, battery energy storage, and solar-panel upcycling under the TERREPOWER banner.

Ownership and history

BBB Industries was founded in 1987 in Daphne, Alabama by the Bigler family, starting as a regional remanufacturer of starters and alternators. Over the following decades it expanded across the personal and commercial vehicle aftermarket, adding brake calipers, steering products, and turbochargers. In 2014 the company entered the EV market by remanufacturing electric power steering systems, and in 2019 it began upcycling EV batteries to extend their useful life. Its solar-panel upcycling program followed in 2021.

Ownership has moved through the private-equity market. Genstar Capital held the business before selling it to Clearlake Capital Group, which completed the acquisition on July 28, 2022; the terms were not disclosed. Duncan Gillis has served as chief executive across both ownerships. In February 2025 the company rebranded from BBB Industries to TERREPOWER, a name it derives from the French word for earth, and in August 2025 it added the tagline "Reimagine What's Possible." The company describes its footprint as operations in more than 90 countries, with sustainable-manufacturing facilities across North America and Europe, including plants in Spain, Italy, Denmark, Germany, and Poland, and a solar-reuse facility in Tennessee that came online in 2023. Current leadership per the company's own governance page includes Duncan Gillis (CEO), Emily Weaver (CFO), John Amyot (COO), and Mark Nugent (Chief Sustainability Officer and EVP, Strategy).

Certifications and quality

The company holds IATF 16949, the international automotive quality-management standard, at its steering plant, a certification announced in November 2018 and reported by aftermarket trade press. Its remanufacturing facilities are also certified through MERA's Manufactured Certification Program, the industry program that verifies remanufactured parts against defined production standards. Both are reported as claims by the company and its trade-press coverage. As a remanufacturer of non-discretionary parts, quality-system currency is central to the business: a reman alternator or brake caliper has to meet OE fit and function to be saleable through distribution.

Known customers

BBB Industries sells into the automotive aftermarket channel rather than named OEM production programs, so its customer base is distributors, retailers, and program groups across North America and Europe, plus industrial, energy-storage, and solar end markets. No individual customer relationship is documented to the standard this profile requires (a regulatory filing, the company's own announcement, or major-outlet reporting), so none is listed as a named customer here. What is documented is the shape of the business: the company describes itself as a leading sustainable manufacturer of non-discretionary automotive parts and, as of August 2025, as the world's largest sustainable manufacturer by volume, a self-reported claim.

Sourcing evidence

BBB Industries' US import record is that of a large domestic remanufacturer feeding its plants: 14,731 sea shipments since January 2015, with the most recent spotted on September 16, 2026. The inbound goods are remanufacturing cores and components, not finished consumer goods. Bills of lading name suppliers of armatures, carbon brushes, voltage regulators, brake caliper castings, and power-steering pumps, which is the inbound profile of a company that rebuilds parts in North America rather than a reseller importing finished units. The most active foreign suppliers on record:

Seven shown of a much larger supplier list. By declared HS code, the mix leads with electrical starting and charging equipment (8511.50), general vehicle parts (8708.99), brakes and caliper parts (8708.30), plastic components such as bushings (3926.90), voltage regulators (9032.89), and steering parts (8708.94). Origin countries are led by China (13,389 shipments), followed by India (563), Vietnam (294), South Korea (120), and Taiwan (78), with a smaller European lane through Belgium, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Customs-derived estimates put cumulative ocean shipping spend at roughly $29.1M since 2015, with cost data covering about 79% of shipments, an order-of-magnitude figure rather than an audited one. Import cadence is steady and high, averaging between about 865 and 1,400 shipments per calendar month across the record.

For buyers evaluating a supplier's supply chain resilience, the concentration of inbound cores and components in China is worth noting alongside the company's own manufacturing footprint across North America and Europe.

Coverage caveats: these are US ocean-freight records only. Air, truck, and rail movements do not appear; some records name freight intermediaries rather than manufacturers; and product categories come from declared manifest codes, which are noisy. Absence of a record is not evidence of absence.
