Apprenticeship Guide To BGB About Us
Company Profile & History
Company Profile Established in 1976 as a manufacturer of carbon brush holders, BGB began exporting in the early 1990s - now over 90% of turnover is achieved through the exportation of rotary goods and services such as slip ring assemblies, fibre optic rotary joints and other rotary transmission devices. Specialising in the design from concept, manufacturing and marketing of our own range of niche market engineering solutions, we pride ourselves on developing quality assemblies in partnership with our customers for win-win outcomes. With two sites in Grantham (UK) and a second plant in Virginia (USA), BGB has built a great reputation for its products worldwide. History By the turn of the 1990’s, BGB’s reputation for individual slip rings and brush holders was clear to see, particularly in industries such as Packaging, Standby Power,
Cable Reeling and Water Treatment. It’s within the Wastewater industry where we designed and manufactured the first slip ring packaged assembly, combining both slip ring and brush holders into one neatly packaged sealed unit. The early 1990’s saw our first venture into an emerging energy market coming out of Denmark where wind turbines were becoming a popular way of producing energy from a renewable source. With the help of a Danish agent, we began to form great relationships
with early OEM’s: NEG Micon, Vestas, Bonus and Siemens, providing NEG Micon and Vestas with our first wind specific pitch control slip ring.
