TERREPOWER, previously known as BBB Industries, is cementing its position as a global leader in environmentally responsible manufacturing for the automotive and industrial aftermarket. In 2024, the company produced 17 million remanufactured units out of a total of 20 million, avoiding over 160,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. With a focus on circular production practices, TERREPOWER has emerged as the world’s largest sustainable manufacturer by output volume.
“Sustainable manufacturing at TERREPOWER goes beyond traditional remanufacturing,” said CEO Duncan Gillis. “We focus on ethical sourcing, minimizing waste, and optimizing energy use—all of which support both environmental goals and business continuity amid global supply chain volatility.” The company’s approach has proven essential in helping customers navigate supply disruptions, reduce risk, and maintain operational efficiency, especially as industries shift toward near-shoring and local production models.
With operations across 90 countries and a global team exceeding 10,000 professionals, TERREPOWER is aggressively scaling its presence. Its growth strategy includes a sharpened focus on international markets, demonstrated by the recent appointment of Michael Boe as President of its European division, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. Boe noted, “The company’s strong commitment to sustainability and innovation makes this an ideal time to deepen its reach across Europe.”
Starting in 1987 as a family-run business in the southern United States, the company has evolved into a fully scaled global circular manufacturer. The transition to the name TERREPOWER reflects its dedication to resource conservation and innovation. The name—“Terre” symbolizing earth, and “Power” highlighting capability—underscores the company’s mission to reshape the aftermarket through responsible production.
TERREPOWER specializes in delivering remanufactured automotive and industrial parts that meet or exceed original equipment standards, while offering significant cost advantages. By restoring used components to like-new condition, the company eliminates the environmental and financial burden of raw material extraction and full-scale production. This model challenges the traditional trade-off between quality and affordability, offering a compelling alternative to new parts.
The company’s success mirrors a broader industry movement away from linear consumption patterns toward a circular economy. Growing environmental awareness, tightening regulations, and the pursuit of long-term operational savings are driving widespread adoption of remanufactured solutions. For customers, the appeal lies in both the lower environmental footprint and improved cost-efficiency, which in turn is encouraging greater investment in sustainable infrastructure.
The automotive aftermarket continues to experience strong momentum. According to the Auto Care Association’s latest report, U.S. light-duty aftermarket sales climbed 5.7% in 2024, reaching $413.7 billion. Forecasts suggest that this number will surpass $435 billion in 2025. The combined automotive aftermarket—including light, medium, and heavy-duty categories—is expected to exceed $664 billion by 2028. Much of this growth is fueled by aging vehicles, with the average passenger car in the U.S. now over 12.8 years old.
Beyond automotive, remanufacturing is gaining traction in sectors such as aerospace, IT, consumer electronics, heavy machinery, and locomotive systems. The global market is expanding, driven by rising awareness of the benefits of remanufacturing, budget constraints, declining numbers of skilled repair workers, and the complexity of modern equipment. Regulatory pushes for circular practices and the surge in EV adoption are also reshaping the landscape. EV growth in particular is opening new frontiers in battery refurbishment and component reuse, presenting fresh opportunities for manufacturers like TERREPOWER.
Remanufactured parts offer significant cost savings while enhancing supply chain resilience—a key advantage in an increasingly uncertain global market. With rising consumer interest in eco-conscious options and growing demand among fleet operators for affordable, high-performance components, companies are turning to remanufacturing as a strategic choice. TERREPOWER is well-positioned to meet this demand, serving as a dependable partner that can deliver quality parts with lower environmental costs.
As the shift to electric vehicles and sustainable logistics continues, TERREPOWER is expected to play a pivotal role in helping industries transition to more resilient, circular models of production. Its expertise and infrastructure offer a viable path forward for organizations looking to meet environmental goals without sacrificing performance or profitability.
With a diverse portfolio of remanufactured products and expanding presence across Europe and other key regions, TERREPOWER is set to maintain its upward trajectory. The company’s continued investment in innovation and infrastructure is helping to advance the circular economy within the global automotive and industrial sectors.
