Our Mission
Our Mission
As a prominent leader in the vehicle conversions market, we had the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability with the latest in van conversion technology. This year we showcased the bott uno3 and bott modulo3 ranges and unveiled the new PX configurator tool for bott vario3. Attendees learnt about this innovative new van racking system, crafted with our usual focus on sustainability, which has been specially designed to adapt to the growing demand for EVs. The stand also featured consultation areas where visitors were able to fully customise their own vans. bott’s team of experts were on hand to provide support with design and talk through the van racking solutions on offer.
We eagerly anticipate returning to the show next year to continue to set the standard for sustainability in the vehicle conversions market.

50 Years Of perfo & The New perfolock
50 Years Of perfo & The New perfolock
This Summer we celebrated 50 years of the perfo panel and reflected on the evolution of this manufacturing space-saving solution. Originally for small parts storage, bott perfo accessories are now integrated across the entire bott Group. Over time the perfo hooks and lock design have been refined for efficiency and reduced labour.
100% Recycled Plastic
100% Recycled Plastic
As we increasingly prioritise sustainability, we wanted to highlight the new perfolock made from 100% recycled plastic and is entirely recyclable. The new design not only enhances sustainability but also allows for manual fitting without the need of any additional tools. Since this innovative design was introduced in 2010, bott Ltd. have used over 32 million perfolocks! To learn more about the history of perfo, you can read the case study here.

In July, we revealed that the recently launched VW ID. Buzz is now equipped to seamlessly integrate with bott Smartvan racking. The ID. Buzz is the first fully electric vehicle from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and we were thrilled to add it to the growing number of electric vehicles available for custom van racking. The VW ID. Buzz racking features the usual benefits including self-fit design, no drills required and fully customisable with the bott van configurator.

When relocating to Somerset, David Appleby Engineering expanded its broad range of road, race and rally programs for many of its clients. The team worked for over 12 months, transforming their building space into a premium workshop fully equipped with bott cubio kit which has improved their capabilities in providing Aston Martin road and race car services and upgrades.
Our modular workshop storage equipment has been used to configure individual work areas, enabling each engineering technician to have their tools organised and stored by preference. We look forward to continuing our relationship far into the future with the prestigious David Appleby Engineering.
