Generally, remanufacturing operations are organized under manufacturing, plant management etc. When a company announces a separate division fo remanufacturing, I believe they are taking a more systematic approach to managing this high-margin, high-growth, environmentally-friendly operation- and express their commitment. Well it happened before with CAT, and now John Deere is reorganizing its remanufacturing operations that has long been going on under the name Phoenix Reman Group. The new name will be Deere Reman – Edmonton. Please read more about Deere Reman here.
Another company, ArvinMeritor, announced that they acquired Mascot Trucks, a remanufacturer of truck parts with six facilities and logistics centers in NA. ArvinMeritor started remanufacturing in 1982 with its axle carrier remanufacturing operations. Now, they consider remanufacturing as a major growth opportunity. Carsten Reinhardt, president of ArvinMeritor's Commercial Vehicle Systems business said, "This expansion of our remanufacturing business makes sense for our customers and aligns with our business strategy to grow the aftermarket business."
Happy holidays and a peaceful 2008!
