Remanufactured Systems – which recently introduced what are believed to be the first two-year warranty brake callipers for trucks and buses – says that joining the Federation of Automotive Remanufacturers (FAR) has helped open doors.
"FAR membership endorses the quality of the remanufacturing process and has also helped underpin confidence in Remanufactured Systems' products at distributor level," comments managing director Andrew Bennett.
"OE suppliers have always talked remanufacturers down, he continues. "Well, we are talking them up. We are selling more remanufactured brake calipers than ever and we now are able to say that we can do the job better than you because our warranty is twice as good," he adds.
The Swadlincote, Derbyshire, company plans to make the warranty exclusively available through a network of partner distributorsand motor factors.
Other motor factors will still be able to supply the brake calipers but the products will only be covered by a one-year warranty.
"The indications are that we will be dealing with an initial network of around 120 sales outlets throughout the UK," states Bennett.
