remanufacturers
Factory refurbishment companies
Remanufacturers are companies or individuals that restore used products to like-new condition.
Unlike simple repair or refurbishment, remanufacturing involves disassembling products, replacing worn components, and rebuilding them to original specifications: Remanufacturers of automotive parts offer warranties comparable to new products.
The practice is common with engines, electronics, and industrial equipment.
