What is Remanufacturing?

Remanufacturing is the process of remaking used products, bringing them up to, or better than the performance level of a new component. “Reman” parts yield tremendous benefits when compared to new or refurbished replacement components.

ATC’s Remanufacturing Process

A rigorous procedure of disassembly, cleaning, inspection, reconditioning of reusable components, replacement of worn parts, reassembly and testing – all to designed to ensure as-good-as or better-than OEM performance.

Benefits of Remanufacturing

Cost Savings

Lower production and procurement costs compared to new components.

Quality & Reliability

Meets or exceeds OEM standards for performance and durability.

Sustainability

Conserves raw materials, Reduces landfill waste, and lowers carbon emissions.

Compliance

Meets strict governmental and manufacturer quality certifications.

Remanufacturing

ATC remanufactured auto parts (including transmissions and engines) are fully restored to meet or exceed OEM specs through a thorough process of disassembly, cleaning, inspection, replacement of worn components, reassembly, and testing.

Refurbishing

A refurbished or repaired part is a previously used or worn component that has been restored to a functional and reliable condition, and will be subjected to limited to no testing.

ATC Remanufactures EV Batteries

ATC is equipped to support 3 of the 4 lifecycle stages of EV batteries.

EV battery remanufacturing is a cost effective, environmentally responsible, and resource-efficient solution for the growing electric vehicle industry.

Remanufacturing (Second Use) vs. Second Life vs. Recycling 

  • Remanufacturing (Second Use) – Restoring used batteries for EV use.
  • Second Life Reuse – Repurposing old batteries for energy storage.
  • Recycling – Extracting raw materials for use in new battery production.
