The Remanufacturing Service Worldwide

Restore the value to your quality parts

With above 20 remanufacturing locations around the globe, ZF plays a leading role in the industrial refurbishment of old parts. In Europe, America, and Asia the remanufacturing program is part of the global network of ZF Aftermarket. Remanufacturing at ZF follows a quality-checked and customer-oriented process. Old parts, also called cores, are the basis for remanufacturing.

A sustainable cycle can only be created through a functioning core management. The return system for old parts works in four simple steps - convenient, safe and transparent. ZF puts the knowledge and innovative power of original equipment into the industrial remanufacturing of old parts. The result: quality you can trust.

But we cannot do this without our customers, who are unseparated part of the reman process. Together we can provide the highest availability of these green alternatives and reduce more CO2 emissions. Reverse logistics means everything, so we are working to simplify this process for our stakeholders.
