What TERREPOWER makes

TERREPOWER, formerly BBB Industries, is a sustainable manufacturer of remanufactured and new aftermarket parts for the automotive and industrial markets. Its core automotive lines are alternators and starters, power steering (including electric power steering, or EPS), brake calipers, turbochargers, automotive electronics, and EV batteries, along with collision products such as lighting, wheels, and mirrors and a range of new service parts. On the industrial side it makes industrial alternators and starters, industrial turbochargers, and hydraulic components.

The company sells through a wide brand portfolio rather than a single label. In North America those include Remy (starters and alternators), NuGeon (brake calipers), OE-TurboPower (turbochargers), Vision-OE (power steering), Wilson (industrial rotating electrics), Turbo Power Systems (industrial turbos), and Genco, Superior, Endurance, and Platinum. In Europe it operates Budweg in Denmark, Metalcaucho, Fare, STC, Cautex, Alfa e-Parts, and Plyom in Spain, Mapco in Germany, Axia in Denmark, and Redline in Italy. Remanufacturing, which rebuilds a used core back to like-new performance, sits at the center of the business: the company positions itself around the circular economy and says it is the world's largest sustainable manufacturer by volume.

Beyond traditional aftermarket parts, TERREPOWER has extended the same remanufacturing model into energy. It entered electric power steering in 2014, began EV battery upcycling in 2019, and later added solar module upcycling and manufacturing plus battery energy storage, addressing the volume of end-of-life panels and batteries expected to reach landfills over the next decade.

Ownership and history

TERREPOWER was founded in 1987 in Daphne, Alabama by the Bigler family as a small regional remanufacturer of starters and alternators. It grew across the automotive aftermarket over the following decades and passed through several private-equity owners, including Windjammer Capital, Pamplona, and Genstar Capital. In 2022, an affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group acquired the company. Backed by Clearlake, it expanded into Europe with facilities in Spain, Italy, Denmark, Germany, and Poland, and it now says it operates in more than 90 countries across North America and Europe.

In February 2025, BBB Industries rebranded as TERREPOWER, combining "Terre," French for Earth, with "Power" to signal a focus on sustainable manufacturing across automotive, industrial, and energy markets. The company keeps two US corporate centers, its global headquarters at 29627 Renaissance Blvd in Daphne, Alabama and a second center in Irving, Texas. Leadership per the company's own materials and public listings: Duncan Gillis, Chief Executive Officer; Emily Weaver, Chief Financial Officer; John Amyot, Chief Operating Officer; and Maria Caballero, President of TERREPOWER, with Duygu Seker leading the European business.

Manufacturing footprint and scale

TERREPOWER runs a large, multi-plant footprint aimed at fast aftermarket coverage. By its own count it operates 16 sustainable manufacturing facilities and 9 distribution centers in North America, and 3 manufacturing facilities and 5 distribution centers in Europe. A solar module processing operation in Sparta, Tennessee is set to produce roughly 95,000 panels, about 50 MW, using the company's sustainable manufacturing process, announced in February 2026. Third-party data models put annual revenue at roughly $2 billion, a scale consistent with a remanufacturer supplying national parts distribution channels, though the company is privately held and does not publish audited figures.

Certifications and quality

TERREPOWER states that its manufacturing facilities are IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, the automotive quality-management standards expected of an OE-grade parts supplier. It describes its remanufactured products as meeting or exceeding original-equipment standards and applies PPAP-style quality discipline across its lines. The company is a member of the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association (APRA), the Auto Care Association, and the Remanufacturing Industries Council.

Sourcing evidence

TERREPOWER's US import record fits a remanufacturer. Across its BBB Industries and Terrepower import identities, US customs bill-of-lading records show roughly 18,000 sea shipments on file, with the most recent in September 2026, so the company is actively importing. The named foreign suppliers are largely Chinese core and component makers such as Quanxing Machining Group, Zhejiang Magneto Electromotor, Renqiu Stronghold Carbon Products, and Jiangsu Yunyi Electric, which is the cores-in, rebuilt-parts-out pattern of a remanufacturing operation rather than a reseller of finished goods.

Coverage caveats: these are US ocean-freight records only, split across more than one corporate import name, so the combined figure is an order-of-magnitude count rather than a deduplicated total. Air, truck, and rail movements do not appear, some records name freight intermediaries rather than manufacturers, and manifest product codes are noisy. Absence of a record is not evidence of absence.
