Remanufactured parts: booming business
Remanufacturing of engines, transmissions and other automotive parts is a fast-growing segment within the automotive aftermarket. Increasingly, more governments, authorities, organizations and businesses around the world are supporting remanufacturing for its unique combination of quality, sustainability, cost effectiveness and employability.
