Volvo Group celebrates 80th year of remanufacturing business

The Volvo Group has now been remanufacturing components for its on-road, off-road, and marine applications for 80 years, the company said. Its reman business started in 1945 and has grown to Middletown, Pennsylvania and Charlotte, North Carolina.

“Remanufacturing is a cornerstone of the Volvo Group’s sustainability journey and has been since the first renovated gearboxes were produced in 1945,” said Stephen Roy, chairman, Volvo Group North America. “Not only does this initiative play a significant role in reducing our environmental impact by minimizing waste, but it also supports our customers by providing reliable Volvo-quality parts at a lower cost.”

As part of its remanufacturing process, components undergo inspection and evaluation before being remade. This includes electromagnetic crack detection, precision machining, recovery and welding, calibration with certified gauges, and dynamic testing. Additionally, Volvo offers 100% warranty on parts, contingent damage, and labor (when installed by an authorized dealer).

Today, Volvo’s remanufacturing business covers engines, transmissions, coolant pumps, cylinder heads, and turbochargers. Remanufactured parts are available for Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, Volvo Penta, Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Buses, Prevost.

“Our commitment to remanufacturing isn’t just about business—it’s about responsibility,” said Sherman Williams, Volvo Group North America’s remanufacturing product development director. “We are proud to offer our customers a solution that not only meets their needs but also aligns with their values.”
