Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC has introduced a new business unit solely focused on remanufacturing.
Capitalizing on more than 35 years' experience in remanufacturing compressors, air dryers, valves, and brake shoes, the new Bendix unit consolidates the company's remanufacturing efforts and will expand the company's aftermarket business in North America and worldwide.
By salvaging key components of returned products and reassembling them with other salvaged and new components, Bendix can provide remanufactured products that meet OE specifications and ensure availability even in peak demand years. Bendix engineers in the new business unit can now use components originally manufactured by other brands to bring remanufactured parts as close as possible to their OE specifications.
While Bendix's remanufactured parts provide a lower-priced alternative to new parts, the company's release process means Bendix can guarantee its remanufactured products for the same period of time as an OE product warranty.
Remanufacturing also reduces Bendix's environmental impact by lessening the carbon dioxide output associated with the fabrication of new parts.
