ReMaTecNews, an international news magazine and website for remanufacturing based in Amsterdam, has named Meritor the 2012 Remanufacturer of the Year. According to the company, the award recognizes an organization that has served the automotive or heavy-duty truck remanufacturing sectors with distinction in fields such as innovation, technical excellence, customer service and commitment to the promotion of the qualities of remanufacturing.
“Meritor is a global company that has set very high standards for everything it does in remanufacturing,” said William Schwarck, ReMaTecNews editor-in-chief and chairman of the panel of judges. “We are proud that this year’s winner is of such high caliber and advanced skills and is taking remanufacturing to a new level.”
Meritor’s remanufacturing operations encompass eight sites in five countries producing a substantial portfolio of drivetrain and wheel-end components. More than 30,000 tons of metal are recycled annually in Meritor’s remanufacturing operations worldwide, and the company said it recycles 90% of all waste from its operations. More than 40,000 tons of cores, or original components, are processed at Meritor remanufacturing facilities annually.
“This award is a direct reflection of our companywide commitment to sustainability and, more important, our employees who drive for excellence in remanufacturing operations,” said Doug Wolma, general manager of Global Aftermarket Operations, who accepted the award at the World Reman Summit in Bayreuth, Germany, on Sept. 3. “Meritor firmly believes in the value remanufacturing brings to our company and our industry.”
