We have studied the hadroproduction of bb, direct χc and J/ψ in the framework of the k⊥ factorization approach at high energies. The NLLA BFKL qq-production vertex provides a gauge invariant description of the processes and plays a central role in our considerations. The calculated bb cross sections are significantly larger than in the collinear approach and give a good description of the Tevatron data. Concerning Quarkonium production we find that the color-singlet contributions are essentially larger than in the collinear approach. For the J/ψ the color singlet contribution is still an order of magnitude below the data. This deficit may be well described in the framework of NRQCD by color octet contributions. The value of the color octet matrix element <0|O8J/ψ(3S1)|0> is substantially decreased in comparison with fits in the collinear factorization. This should lead to a reduction of the large transverse polarization, predicted in the collinear approach.
