- Remanufacturing with BORG Automotive
When it comes to replacing car parts, many people consider two options: OE parts or the traditional aftermarket component. But there is a third option: Remanufacturing.
For more than 45 years, BORG Automotive has delivered remanufactured automotive parts for the European aftermarket. Today, the organisation remanufactures starters, alternators, brake calipers, AC compressors and EGR valves at its Polish production sites, and steering products – which include racks, pumps and electric columns – in the UK. In addition, the company has recently acquired the Spanish turbocharger company, TMI, which has added a ninth product group to the portfolio.
To remanufacture automotive parts, used products, namely cores, should be retrieved. BORG Automotive sells their remanufactured units with a deposit, which is returned to the customers if they send BORG the unit they are replacing.
The core BORG is getting in exchange for a remanufactured unit is sent to their core warehouse in Poland the largest core warehouse in Europe with more than one million units – ready for remanufacturing.
As a remanufacturer, BORG Automotive controls the entire remanufacturing process from parts and production to sales and service. This total control of every process gives BORG Automotive an advantage when it comes to quality control and testing. All units are individually tested according to BORG’s remanufacturing and factory standards and the production has been certified according to ISO standards 9001:2015 and 14001:2015.
The remanufacturing process is carefully executed, and thus needs special attention throughout the entire process. This is due to the advanced and challenging remanufacturing process, which each product demands.
Process
The remanufacturing process takes place in BORG’s own production sites in Poland and the UK and consists of six steps:
- LKQ Euro Car Parts offers MPM Gear Oil range
LKQ Euro Car Parts is now offering the MPM Gear Oil range, which includes more than 40 different automatic transmission fluids and gearbox oils. Pack sizes range from one litre to 20 litres. The range covers more than 99% of automatic transmissions and manuals. Garages can look up the most appropriate product on MPM’s website, which is also where they can find vehicle-specific information around correct service intervals and fill capacity, as well as a personal technical support service.
- ECP offers swimming pool range for lockdown
Wanting to make sure its workshop customers have all their options open for lockdown, Euro Car Parts’ amazingly wide stock range now includes a collection of pop-up swimming pools.
- Johnson Controls EFB range
90% of all newly produced vehicles have a Stop/Start system, which requires a more comprehensive energy supply than conventional cars with few electrical functions. Stop/Start technology is also used in small and medium-sized passenger cars. You can find the right battery in the new and extended EFB product range for almost all entry level Stop/Start vehicles. The range extension includes three new JIS types for market coverage of vehicles of Asian car manufacturers, one new EN type (H8) for higher coverage of Italian car manufacturers, and 3 upgrades to current EN types (H5, H6 and H7) to optimise cold-cranking performance values.

Remanufactured units are now available for popular vehicle models including VAG 1.6 litre turbo applications, 1.6 litre Peugeot petrol models (manufactured after 2009) and 2.2 litre Ford Transit vans (manufactured after 2012).
