The Grantham based company specialises in the design from concept, manufacturing and marketing of its own range of niche market products. BGB has experienced significant growth over the last few years despite having a policy of offering its customers reductions in annual pricing. Growth is attributed to the 'Anglo-Japanese Culture' of empowered engineers in teams within manufacturing cells, Just-In-Time manufacture, continuous innovation and improvement and the latest manufacturing expertise, together with some of the finest engineers in Grantham.
The business started trading in 1978 and began exporting in the early 1990's - now over 90% of turnover is achieved through the exportation of goods and services. BGB has built a good reputation for its products worldwide. Predominant European markets include Scandinavia, Spain and Germany in which 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.
In 2004 BGB purchased the commercial interests of another Grantham company - Aquabeam Ltd, manufacturers of Aquaculture products. This acquisition expanded the Company's product portfolio into the field of underwater lighting, camera systems and cables/connectors. Primary applications include cage illuminators for photoperiod manipulation within fish farming, underwater lighting for the energy and water treatment industries and submerged transom lighting for yachts. Through this division, BGB engineers have developed Digilinc, a wireless Ethernet bridge which enables high speed data or video links to be transmitted across distances of up to 15km with line of sight. Applications for Digilinc include wireless CCTV and remote security and monitoring functions.
