CLEPA defines a remanufactured partas: ‘fulfilling a similar function to the original part. Manufactured using a standardised industrialized process in line with specific technical specifications.
The industrialized processin corporates defined core management standards. A remanufactured spare part is warranted as a new spare part.’ A definition is completely in line with TRW’s remanufacturing philosophy. And we are passionate about spreading the word.
It’s our priority to lead the way and to be a voice for the remanufacturing industry. We are working hard with keyAssociations such as APRA and CLEPA who have a responsibility and key role to play in leading industry change and promoting the issue of automotive remanufacturing with the EU Commission.
Sorting
We start from sort the incoming old parts and identify them by part number. Damaged or incomplete parts are not used.
Automotive remanufacturing and testing
The old components are completely disassembled and rebuilt achieving an as new condition. Parts that can’t be remanufactured are replaced by corresponding original or equivalent parts.
Assembly
The as-new individual parts are assembled to TRW’s specifications. Permanent interim checks and final testing guarantee that TRW’s high-quality standards are 100% met.
Packaging
All products that go through TRW’s remanufacturing process are securely packed for transport, warehousing, and sales.
Logistics
TRW stores the products until ordered and provides worldwide distribution.
Cores are the used automotive parts retrieved from vehicles when these are replaced in the workshop. The remanufacturing process starts with collecting them. TRW is working in conjunction with other well-known names in the automotive remanufacturing industry and industry body CLEPA, to identify the perfect returns solution for your business.
Only parts returned in proper condition and in accordance with our strict return procedures are suitable for remanufacturing. Parts that have been forcibly removed, dropped, or mistreated after removal are usually not suitable for remanufacturing. When a part has been returned to TRW in a suitable condition, the deposit value is credited to the garage.
