TERREPOWER Solidifies Global Leadership in Sustainable Manufacturing as Multi-Billion Automotive and Industrial Aftermarket Continues to Surge
DAPHNE, Ala., Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TERREPOWER, formerly BBB Industries, a global pure-play aftermarket leader in sustainable manufacturing, continues to experience significant growth driven by its visionary leadership and innovative solutions for the automotive and industrial aftermarket. In 2024, the company produced 17 million remanufactured units out of 20 million total units while avoiding more than 160,000 metric tons of CO2 through its carbon neutral business model, positioning TERREPOWER as the world's largest sustainable manufacturer by volume. "Traditional remanufacturing extends the life of automotive and industrial parts while TERREPOWER's sustainable manufacturing processes also prioritize responsible sourcing, efficient waste management, a systematic approach to energy use and resource conservation for environmental stewardship," said Duncan Gillis, CEO of TERREPOWER. "Our success reflects both the exceptional value of our components for end users and the benefits of smarter sourcing, which keeps business flowing amidst market uncertainties and supply chain disruptions." TERREPOWER's scaled sustainable manufacturing process has advantages beyond environmental responsibility. For customers, it fulfills a strategic imperative to ensure operational continuity, economic stability and risk mitigation in a volatile global economy. With the shift from traditional far-shoring to near-shoring and on-shoring, amplified by today's dynamic environment of trade agreements and tariffs, sustainable manufacturing using core components and production close to customers becomes even more desirable. TERREPOWER boasts an extensive global reach with products sold in 90 countries, supported by a dedicated workforce of more than 10,000 people worldwide. The company is undergoing aggressive expansion propelled by growing demand for high-quality, sustainably manufactured products. The recent appointment of European business unit president, Michael Boe, based in Zug, Switzerland, signals the company's continued dedication to strengthening its capabilities in key markets internationally while maintaining its commitment to carbon neutrality. "TERREPOWER's commitment to innovation and sustainability, paired with its global growth strategy, makes this an incredible opportunity," said Michael Boe, president of TERREPOWER's European business unit. Sustainable to the Core Founded in 1987 as BBB Industries, the company has evolved from its roots as a family-run remanufacturing business in the American South to a global, scaled circular business—a testament to a clear strategic vision that underpins its growth. Earlier this year, the company rebranded to TERREPOWER to demonstrate its profound commitment to innovation and fostering a more efficient, resource-conscious future. Derived from the French word for "earth," "Terre" signifies a dedication to preserving valuable resources, while "Power" reflects the power of the company's value proposition. At the core of TERREPOWER's value proposition is delivering high-quality, sustainably manufactured aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM standards—at a significant cost advantage. Through meticulous remanufacturing of used or worn components to like-new condition, the company's approach effectively breaks the OE quality vs. cost trade-off, offering exceptional value by repurposing "core" materials without incurring the raw material extraction costs or the significant carbon footprint associated with manufacturing entirely new parts. TERREPOWER's success also reflects a global shift, where industries are increasingly transitioning from a traditional linear "take-make-waste" model to a circular economy paradigm propelled by escalating environmental awareness, regulatory pressures, and the pursuit of operational efficiencies and cost savings across sectors. These financial advantages, coupled with a reduced environmental footprint, enhance product appeal to eco-conscious buyers who are driving increased market demand. This positive feedback loop further incentivizes investment in sustainable infrastructure, accelerating a structural transformation of the market. Global Growth for the Company and Aftermarket Industry Remanufacturing is part of the broader aftermarket industry. According to Auto Care Association's most recent Auto Care Factbook, in 2024, total U.S. light-duty automotive aftermarket sales grew by 5.7 percent, reaching $413.7 billion. Sales in 2025 are expected to reach $435 billion. The broader automotive aftermarket (including light, medium, and heavy-duty segments) is forecasted to exceed $664 billion by 2028. This sustained growth, even amidst economic challenges such as inflation, highlights the industry's resilience and the increasing tendency of consumers to keep aging passenger vehicles, which now average over 12.8 years on the road. Remanufacturing is not limited to the automotive sector. According to the Remanufacturing Industries Council, it serves a wide range of markets from aerospace, automotive and consumer products to heavy duty equipment, information technology, locomotive systems and others. Globally, the industry is also experiencing substantial growth. Key trends driving its growth include increasing acceptance of the remanufacturing value proposition, inflation affecting affordability, aging equipment, decreasing number of traditional service professionals, technical complexity of modern parts, increasing global regulatory emphasis on circularity and sustainability, resource efficiency, and the reduction of carbon emissions. Other trends include a heightened demand for environmentally friendly vehicles from consumers and strong demand among fleet operators for cost-effective, high-quality alternatives to new parts. Micro trends influencing the future of remanufacturing include the accelerating shift to EVs, which presents challenges to traditional automotive parts remanufacturing and unlocks substantial new opportunities, particularly in battery remanufacturing. Ultimately, inherent cost-effectiveness coupled with their contribution to supply chain resilience positions remanufactured parts as economically compelling alternatives to new production. The appeal to buyers and decision-makers is clear. TERREPOWER serves as a reliable, value-driven and increasingly regional source for critical components. The company's innovative approach makes a compelling business case for sustainable manufacturing, and its success demonstrates that environmental responsibility and robust economic viability are not mutually exclusive but synergistic. Given the broad array of products that benefit from sustainable manufacturing and opportunities in Europe and other markets internationally, TERREPOWER's growth prospects continue to strengthen. With unwavering commitment to creating long-term value for customers through continuous innovation, TERREPOWER is catalyzing the growth of a circular economy for the automotive and industrial sectors worldwide. About TERREPOWER TERREPOWER, formerly BBB Industries, is the largest sustainable manufacturer in the world by volume. Founded in 1987 on a legacy of innovation, TERREPOWER is a global pure-play aftermarket leader specializing in providing high-quality components to the automotive and industrial markets. Based in Daphne, Alabama, TERREPOWER has a dedicated global workforce of over 10,000 employees and an extensive operational footprint throughout North America and Europe, including 19 sustainable manufacturing facilities, 14 distribution centers, and 28 brands with products sold in more than 90 countries, TERREPOWER is committed to strengthening supply chain resilience, reducing waste and advancing the circular economy.

Breaking Through Core CT Technology Barriers!
World-Class Innovations to Debut at 2025 Medtec in September SHANGHAI, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A quiet revolution is underway in the field of high-end medical equipment, led by China's growing innovation power. Core CT technologies, once dominated by international giants, are now being steadily unlocked by Chinese companies, breaking through long-standing technical barriers. As a key showcase of this industrial transformation, the 2025 Medtec International Medical Device Design & Manufacturing Technology Exhibition will take place from September 24 to 26 at Halls 1 & 2, Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. The exhibition will reach a record-breaking scale of 45,000 square meters, bringing together over 1,000 top-tier companies from nearly 27 countries and regions around the world. Among the standout participants, Shanghai Xixin Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Wiserscope Photoelectric Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Wuxi Innosonics Medical Technology Co., Ltd., SmartVein (Jiaxing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd., and Shanghai AIMIC Medical Electronics Co., Ltd. will make major appearances, showcasing their latest technological breakthroughs and product applications to a highly targeted audience of professional buyers. Click to Register for FREE > 01. CT X-Ray Tubes: From Industry Bottleneck to the Rise of "Domestic Cores" In the realm of high-end medical devices, CT scanners are often referred to as the "eyes of modern medicine"—their performance directly impacts image quality and equipment lifespan. At the heart of these systems, the X-ray tube and detector act as the "retina" and "lens." For years, these critical components have been dominated by global giants like GE, Siemens, and Philips. As a result, Chinese medical institutions have faced costly challenges—millions spent on consumables and equipment outages lasting over a month while waiting for repairs. Now, change is underway. In the first half of 2025, the number of registered domestic CT devices surged by 47% year-over-year. Even more significant, the localization rate of core components has crossed the 60% threshold—a historic milestone. Behind this achievement lies the power of collaborative innovation, driven by coordinated efforts among upstream and downstream enterprises across the industry chain: 02. Localization Accelerates for the "Core" of CT Systems Driven by the rapid growth of China's healthcare industry and an aging population, domestic demand for CT systems and X-ray tubes continues to surge. Today, China has become the world's largest consumer market for medical CT tubes. According to recent medical procurement data, domestic CT system sales in 2024 have caught up with those of imported brands, with Chinese manufacturers now leading the market in share. Often referred to as the "core" of the CT system, the X-ray tube is a vital component in the medical imaging supply chain—accounting for roughly 20% of a CT system's bill of materials (BOM). As a high-value consumable, CT tubes typically need replacement every two and a half years. In high-volume hospitals, that replacement cycle can shorten to just one year. From 2022 to 2024, domestic demand for medical CT tubes was 12,275, 12,317, and 12,713 units, respectively—marking a 3.57% increase in 2024 compared to 2022. As a critical high-value consumable in medical CT equipment, a single CT tube can cost up to several million yuan. Data shows that the average lifespan of a CT tube in China is just 13 months—effectively requiring replacement nearly every year. The real challenge in CT tube manufacturing lies in achieving exceptional precision and stability. Given their high cost and short service life, CT tubes have become a competitive focal point between CT system manufacturers and tube suppliers. Domestic companies such as Kunshan Medical Source, CETC, Beijing SmartBeam, and Zhuhai Rcan have secured registrations for multiple CT tube models. For local CT system manufacturers, adopting domestically produced tubes offers a key technological advantage in reducing costs and boosting overall market competitiveness. Since the 12th Five-Year Plan, China has consistently identified CT tubes as a strategic focus for innovation and development. They have remained a priority across three consecutive national Five-Year Plans, underscoring strong government support for advancing homegrown CT tube manufacturing. At the same time, centralized procurement of medical devices is expanding across the country, with the trend gaining momentum. While global giants like GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, and Philips still dominate the mid- to high-end market, they are increasingly facing pressure from rising domestic competitors. Backed by supportive policies and the growing strength of local technologies, the market share of domestically produced CT core components is expected to see steady and sustained growth. 03. 2025 Medtec: Discover Trends, Connect Resources, Unlock Opportunities Breakthroughs in independent innovation are not only transforming the domestic landscape but also offering fresh perspectives and solutions to the global medical technology community. The rapid advancement of localized CT core components marks a major milestone in the evolution of China's medical device industry. 2025 Medtec – the International Exhibition for Medical Device Design & Manufacturing Technology – will serve as a dynamic platform for technical exchange and business collaboration, further accelerating the localization and commercialization of CT core technologies. From domestically developed medical chips to automated precision components, and from non-invasive brain-computer interfaces to nanoscale surgical robots, 2025 Medtec will showcase a full spectrum of cutting-edge medical technologies from around the world. The event offers professionals a unique opportunity to engage in in-depth technical exchanges and gain insights that span from theoretical innovation to real-world industrial applications. Additionally, 2025 Medtec will host an enhanced Medtec International Medical Device Supply Chain Ecosystem Summit, centered on eight key themes: high-end active medical devices, manufacturing processes, innovative material applications, R&D consulting, medical regulations, consumer healthcare, market and procurement, and support services. This summit will foster collaboration and innovation throughout the supply chain. Attendees will have the chance to hear the latest industry insights, engage in direct discussions with experts, and explore new opportunities and challenges shaping the future of the medical device industry. We invite industry professionals from around the world to register and attend this exhibition—come witness the rapid rise of China's CT core component industry and see firsthand how the "heart" of China's high-end medical equipment is beating stronger than ever, showcasing Chinese innovation and strength on the global medical device stage!
