In 2025, the BGA took a significant step by partnering with Engrena ITA, a leading Gear Association in Brazil. This collaboration marks an important expansion of the BGA’s global network, focusing on a two-way exchange of information and expertise.

 

Engrena ITA offers valuable insights into the South American market, which is growing and evolving rapidly. Meanwhile, the BGA shares knowledge about the UK and European contexts, helping both parties understand different regulatory environments, market demands, and technological advances.
