BORBET is once again offering attractive apprenticeships for 2025. Interested pupils can find out more and apply directly at www.borbet.de/en/career/training or gain an insight into training at a hidden champion through internships.

In addition, pupils and skilled workers will have the opportunity to find out about career opportunities at BORBET Thüringen and take a look behind the scenes of the global market and technology leader at the ‘Night of Careers’ on 7 March 2025 from 4 to 7 pm.

The CUPRA TERRAMAR is both a sporty SUV and a family car. The BORBET Y wheel design in “black glossy”, “titan matt” and “bronce matt” is the ideal choice for an outstandingly active driving experience.

The BORBET Y in the “Classic” category is now available with ABE approval in 8.0x18 and 8.0x19 inch. With offset 37 and bolt circle 112/5 to match the standard 235/55R18 and 255/45R19 tyres.

With its wheel hub positioned low in the centre, the BORBET Y shows how to optimally emphasise the spokes. Which perfectly expresses the sporty performance of the CUPRA TERRAMAR.

150 TREES FOR THE LOCAL FOREST

Last week, the industrial-technical BORBET trainees (m/f/d) planted a total of 150 seedlings in the Hesborn church forest on the Bollerberg under the expert guidance of forestry technician Eric Kroll and Wilhelm Brandenburg, a retired forester. The aim of the project is to promote biodiversity in the transition zones and to create a stable forest edge that will protect the forest behind it from strong winds and storms in the future.

At the beginning, the trainees were given an introduction to the importance of the forest edge and the characteristics of the three tree species planted - red oak, walnut and sweet chestnut. After an explanation of the various planting techniques and the necessary tools, they got straight down to work and planted the saplings as a team.

The campaign was made possible by a special sustainability approach: BORBET has been operating its own beehive at the Medebach site since spring 2023. The proceeds from the sale of honey to employees went towards financing the seedlings - a symbolic contribution from nature for nature.

"Nature conservation and regional commitment are core values for BORBET," explains Mrs Margot Borbet, Chairwoman of the BORBET Foundation Board. "As a hunter, my husband Peter Wilhelm Borbet has always been very close to nature and has always been committed to the local forest and its protection. The effects of storms like Kyrill and the consequences of increasing drought show how important it is to take action locally to protect and strengthen our forests. With projects like this planting campaign, we as a company want to play our part in preserving and promoting local forests."

This campaign is another example of BORBET's commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. Sustainability characterises our actions - today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

As an electric SUV coupé, the new Cupra Tavascan is causing a sensation. The BORBET N wheel now makes its dynamic performance perfect all round. With the colours “black glossy”, “bronce matt” and “crystal silver”, which are ideal for winter use.

The BORBET N in the “Classic” category is now available for the Cupra Tavascan in 8.0 x 19 inch with an offset of 44.9 in the 112/5-hole version. As a dynamic 10-spoke wheel “made in Germany”, it impresses right from the start with ABE approval to match the standard tyre combination VA 235/55 + HA 255/50R19.

On 01.09.2024, Mr Antonio Curioso will join the management of the BORBET Vertriebs GmbH. With his many years of international experience in the aftermarket and tuning, he will provide important new impetus at BORBET. Having worked in the USA for several years, Mr Curioso will further strengthen and expand the international wheel manufacturer's global presence in the aftermarket segment.

The existing BORBET team will continue to run the business in the proven manner - with Mrs Birgit Grebe-Frese and Mr Marcel Frankenstein, who is new to the position, as sales managers. Mrs Grebe-Frese is primarily responsible for the OES divisions and, in the IAM, for exports and our partnerships, while Mr Frankenstein is responsible for wholesale, tire retail and the e-commerce marketplaces. Together, they will manage sales at both locations in Medebach and Neuching, both in the office and in the field service.

“We are very much looking forward to working with Mr Curioso and further developing our already extremely strong brand,” emphasises BORBET CEO Burkhard Plett. “BORBET Vertriebs GmbH is ideally positioned to successfully promote our high-quality and innovative light alloy wheels to the relevant target groups in existing and new markets.” 

In 2024, BORBET Thüringen will continue to invest in the future and focus on promoting young talent.
