Remanufacturing. As new

 ‘Our mission statement is simple - To be the leader in the area of automotive remanufacturing. We are confident that we will achieve this status because we firmly believe that what we are doing and how we are doing it, is right.’

Michael von-Linden, General Manager Automotive Remanufacturing Group (RMG)

Remanufactured parts share the same knowledge as new
The RMG allows TRW to combine our product knowledge with that of the automotive remanufacturing business. It allows us to offer customers an alternative, greener and more cost-effective solution to many parts – including parts such as remanufactured power steering pumps and rebuilt steering racks that we do not manufacture new.

• Products meet 100% of OE criteria
• Business is quality standard ISO/TS 16949 and environmental standard DIN ISO 14001 compliant

Having a business unit dedicated to automotive remanufacturing allows us to have a deeper understanding and communicate more easily within this market.

Currently, garages make choices for consumers. Many consumers don’t know automotive remanufacturers even exist, let alone the benefits the products bring to the environment and to their pockets.

We need to channel our message carefully. We need to reach the consumer.

Some chassis components are not suitable for remanufacturing because worn out fittings for joints, sleeves and rubber and metal elements cannot be repaired. A better solution here is to melt them down and make new parts.

We continuously analyse our portfolio to identify products suitable for remanufacturing.

We’re also interested in the possibility of expanding into other areas:

• Remanufactured marine parts
• Remanufactured tractor parts
• Remanufactured train parts
• Remanufactured wind turbine parts

Our research shows that remanufactured calipers, reconditioned power steering pumps and rebuilt steering racks are used in vehicles for these other modes of transport.
