Looks like GW is a retail dealer for BBT in the US ;)

but the BBT blogpsot says: "we teamed up and jumped" - probably they are exclusive in the US 
Not sure how much of the vendors took part of this order. We may hope somebody was an UK exclusive ;)

I have made BW aware of this development as they are the obvious potential importer from the EU for UK wbx builders.
