Spotlight on new RotY awards categories during Global Remanufacturing Day

On 12 April the Remanufacturer of the year Award is introducing it’s ‘renewed’ form. As the reman sector is growing, so is the award. All in all even more recognition for companies and individuals to enter the competition and claim industry leadership.

The remanufacturing sector is gaining more awareness and recognition every year. For that reason ReMaTecNews has broadened the award. ‘It is aimed to make it attractive for everyone to participate in this award’, says Niels Klarenbeek, Director Remanufacturing and Refurbisment. ‘Over its life time the award has celebrated the achievements of some of reman industry’s preeminent names. Within the industry it is considered a major accolade’, Klarenbeek continues. ‘At a time when green issues, conservation of resources, recycling and environmental responsibility are at the forefront of public concerns, the award is intended to highlight the huge commercial and environmental benefits of remanufacturing. That is the reason that we have renewed our award and jury panel.’
