Tight fit for Mexico, the 40’ft leaving to our Mexican distributor last week was pretty full!

BBT Tim and Greet are highly specialized how to stuff containers.

Good stuffing makes our customers happy.

Sunday… hmmmm…. SUN day…:)

With spring in the air please enjoy a couple of period pictures we found  from a Hebmuller and two early convertibles…

We wish you a happy Sunday!

Who will pay the bill?
With gas prices raising until never seen heights, close to $6.00 a gallon in California or diesel  almost €2.50 a liter on the German Autobahn.

Electricity bills going up by 40% and more
Man asks himself where does all the money go?

Does it really go to Russia? As far as our knowledge goes most gas does NOT come from Russia.
Simply all gas and electricity but also shipping companies running top years, with monster profits to spread out between a few…. not Russian, but Western top managers and shareholders.

There is a movement to tax Russian gas heavily, at entry, in other words at the border from where it enters the Western world,  a switch that might not be a too bad idea…
@ BBT we work even harder to find solutions.

Shipping stays a big problem, we’re still waiting for orders placed in October and November!
We’re continuously on the search for better supply, so we can keep our sale prices under control, decrease where possible.

Every week we show our new products, our new arrivals, and this week is  no different, with several additions to our SWT program of high quality sheet metal.
Many more new products AND infill to come,…. if only our shipments would arrive.

We finished more upper side panels.
These panels fit perfectly on top of our lower side panels.

Both sides now available for regular 11 window buses.
