Automotive Remanufacturers of the Year 2010

As automotive remanufacturers, we work hard to provide you with repair and service options that not only make good financial sense, but also deliver high-quality products that are environmentally sound. 

This was recognised when TRW was named 'Automotive Remanufacturer of the Year’ 2010, by international remanufacturing magazine, ReMaTec News, supported by remanufacturing industry body APRA.

TRW was cited as having:

• An outstanding record within the field of automotive remanufacturing
• Automotive remanufacturing facilities that are admirable examples of quality and innovation

“TRW’s automotive remanufacturing facilities are without doubt amongst the industry's most professional remanufacturing operations and offer a combination of high technical knowledge, high quality and innovation as well as commercial competence."

Editor ReMaTec News, William Schwarck

Automotive remanufacturing is a growth industry
The hard facts

• 350,000 industry employees in North America
• 35,000 in Europe...So, there is huge scope for expansion and creation of jobs 

“The potential for automotive remanufacturing is tremendous – an excellent compromise for the environment and consumer costs. And at the same time, providing jobs for local people. An industry with a big future."

Francois Augnet, TRW vice president, Global Parts and Service, TRW Automotive Aftermarket

Automotive Remanufacturing – dawn of a new era
Remanufactured parts are becoming more visible in the IAM. But there is still much work to be done to ensure a positive and clean image travels down the chain to the car driver. We need to work together as an industry to raise the profile, highlight the benefits of remanufacturing and identify and enforce strict legal guidelines.

Taking care of the environment
The whole ‘green’ pitch has been overlooked for years and we all need to play our part.

• Drivers need to be aware of their responsibility towards the environment
• Our customers need to be well informed of their role in the core return process and the responsibility to their suppliers
