In 2001, BBS opens a new Surface Treatment Plant for painting at the production facility in Herbolzheim. By the next year, it is lauded at the most modern and non-polluting plant worldwide—a primary reason for the Federal ministry of Environment to support this innovative plant as a pilot project.
Also in 2002, BBS receives a Podio Award for the developing the best quality wheels Ferrari, Ferrari Formula 1, and Maserati GT vehicles have ever ridden upon.
In 2004, BBS was voted Entrepreneur of the Year in Germany by certified public accountants Ernst & Young. With 1,200 employees, environment-friendly production processes, and a dominant presence in the light wheel market, BBS is considered one of the most successful companies in Germany.
Today, BBS continues to transfer race car technology and race-bred performance to road wheels designed for the latest high-performance luxury automobiles. As always, BBS pushes itself to set new standards, aiming to radically reduce wheel weight while ensuring absolute concentricity, perfect balance, and the stability its reputation has been built upon.
