Remanufacturing in automotive industry

Beginning second half of 2007, Aftermarket Technology Corp. will be handling remanufacturing of front-wheel drive transmissions for Ford and GM. It seems that it is common among automotive remanufacturers to outsource remanufacturing. For instance, about a year ago Land Rover announced CAT Reman as their preferred global remanufacturing provider. This deal also entails remanufacturing of drive trains. Remanufacturing in automotive industry is a fruitful field. I'll discuss this issue soon.

As a last addition to previous posts on cartridge remanufacturing, please see below graph of refilled cartridge failure rates from a report titled “HP InkJet Cartridges vs. Cartridges Refilled at Refill Shops.” This report was featured in Purchasing B2B magazine last year.
