Remanufacturing Consulting

Used vehicle parts are industrially reprocessed and returned to the quality of a new part (remanufacturing). On a global scale, that saves 85 percent of the raw materials and 55 percent of the energy consumed.

Logistics and Sorting

A user-friendly resend portal implements a transparent, agile and controlled return process. In the course of this, the decision is made whether a used part is to be remanufactured, recycled, or removed and properly disposed of.
