Study
2017 Remanufacturing Benchmark
Munich– In collaboration withReMaTec, the world’s largest remanufacturing network, KBC conducted an exclusive study surveying companies in the remanufacturing industry to assess how they view their work today and in the future—from the handling of used parts to quality-related challenges.
Some key findings of the study are:
- Central and Eastern Europe are key markets for the companies surveyed, while North America and Asia also play an important role. Europe remains the key market for remanufacturing.
- The automotive industry—including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and heavy-duty trucks—remains a key focus, while the marine, aerospace, and medical technology sectors are viewed as increasingly important markets for the future.
- The product range is diverse; in the future, services and the recycling of electronic components will play an important role.
- Used parts/core logistics remains a key issue; approximately 70% of all OEMs/OESs source their cores from the sale of their own products or from warranty parts. In addition to remanufacturing their own products, two-thirds also remanufacture products from other manufacturers and/or source used parts from core dealers. About 50% of Tier 1 companies focus on defective parts that are returned under warranty.
We would be happy to present the full study to you during a personal meeting.
