BBB Industries, LLC (BBB), a sustainable manufacturer and leader in the automotive aftermarket, announced the passing of its Founder and Chairman Emeritus Donald (Don) G. Bigler. Bigler was a resident of Mobile, Alabama.

Don Bigler died, peacefully, surrounded by family on Friday, June 16, 2023. He was 91 years old.

“On behalf of BBB Industries, our board, and our management team, I offer our deepest condolences to the Bigler family,” said Duncan Gillis, CEO of BBB Industries. “Don was not just one of BBB’s founders, he was a friend, mentor, and an inspiration to many within the company. I already miss his friendship.”

Don founded BBB alongside his sons, Jeff and Bruce Bigler, who live in the Mobile area. Together, they grew the company from a small, regional remanufacturer of rotating electrical parts into one of the largest and most successful sustainable manufacturers in the world.

Founding and building BBB Industries was Don’s “second act” following a highly impactful career in the aerospace industry where he led top secret programs to ensure the security of the United States, as well as Teledyne Continental Motors (now Continental Aerospace Technologies), the largest manufacturer of engines for the general aviation market.
