Case Studies for South Kesteven District Council
BGB
In 1976, BGB began as a manufacturer of carbon brush holders. They began exporting in the early 1990's and, since then, a worldwide reputation for quality has flourished across European markets, including Scandinavia, Spain and Germany, where BGB lays claim as leader in the field. Products are being supplied to worldwide markets such as Australia, India, Canada, Chile, Korea, USA and Japan. Over 90% of turnover is achieved through the exportation of goods and services
In 2004, BGB expanded, following the purchase of the commercial interests of Aquabeam Ltd, manufacturers of Aquaculture products. This enabled BGB to break into the markets of underwater lighting, camera systems and cables/connectors.
Lighting for fish farming, underwater lighting for the energy and water treatment industries and submerged transom lighting for yachts have all become an essential part of the BGB product range. BGB engineers have also developed Digilinc, a wireless Ethernet bridge, which enables high speed data or video links to be transmitted across distances of up to 20 km with line of sight. Applications for Digilinc include wireless CCTV and remote security and monitoring functions.
“With its A1 links, high-speed rail service to London and close proximity to four large cities (Nottingham, Leicester, Derby and Lincoln), Grantham makes for a brilliant central hub for business. A good engineering heritage in the town also makes for ease of recruiting experienced local staff,” said David Holt, Managing Director of BGB Innovation.
