An important step into the future: Once again this year, several apprentices (m/f/d) have successfully completed their apprenticeship at BORBET, one of the leading manufacturers of light alloy wheels, and are now strengthening the BORBET team at the Hallenberg-Hesborn and Medebach sites.

Congratulations to: M. Gustin (IT specialist for system integration), L. Seliger-Lange and M. Reis (electronics technicians for industrial engineering), L. Wahle (industrial clerk) and M. Bichowski (cutting machine operator).

In addition, K. Kalverkamp and S. Thomas obtained a vocational qualification as machine and plant operators as part of a partial qualification programme. This not only emphasises BORBET's commitment to traditional vocational training, but also to promoting further qualifications.

‘Sound training and targeted further training are the basis for a strong future - for our employees and for BORBET. It is very important to us to support young people and offer them long-term prospects,’ explains Carolin Mittermaier, Head of Human Resources at BORBET.

BORBET is once again offering attractive apprenticeships in 2025. Interested parties can find out more and apply directly online at www.borbet.de/training.

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.

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 the price-performance test winner among the small SUVs, the new Dacia Duster (type DJF) scored highly in the test by Autobild. The BORBET Y wheel design now ensures an outstandingly active driving experience.

The absolute highlight in 2024 will be the new BORBET TF wheel design. The type designation TF stands for “twenty four” and thus for the first 24-inch wheel from BORBET. To celebrate this special premiere, several colour variants of the design will be presented. A trend barometer will decide which colours will be included in the BORBET specialist retail range after the trade fair. In terms of technology, the new BORBET TF in an impressive 10.5x24 inches also shows what “Made in Germany” makes possible. The Performance Cut process, for example, guarantees weight savings with precise moulding. The impressive wheel load of up to 1,050 kilograms makes the new BORBET wheel the ideal companion for numerous SUVs.

As a further world premiere, BORBET is presenting the new XV wheel in the sizes 8.5x19 and 9.5x19 inches in “black polished matt” and “black glossy”. This “High Load Wheel” is designed for a wheel load of 910 kilograms and, as usual from BORBET, will be launched with ABE and even ECE approvals. The BORBET XV is available just in time for the winter season for a wide range of vehicles such as the Audi A4 and A6, BMW X3/X4, Mercedes E-Class and S-Class or Tesla Model 3 and Y.

When it comes to surfaces, BORBET shows just how innovative state-of-the-art can be. As a novelty in the product range, the surface gives the impression of raw cast aluminium. This can be combined with diamond grinding, milling and/or coloured clear lacquer, as well as with visible differences to machined surfaces. All true to the motto “less is more”.

But for those who prefer more than less from a visit to the trade fair, the BORBET source of inspiration in Hall 8.1 on Stand D30/E31 will certainly bring you up to date with the latest wheel innovations.
