“Rethink Reman”
An Education and Awareness Campaign
Manufactured Again® — part of the Rethink Reman program — emphasizes today’s advanced definition of
remanufacturing:
Remanufacturing is a standardized industrial process by which previously sold, worn or non-
functional products are returned to same-as-new, or better, condition and performance. The process
incorporates technical specifications, including engineering, quality, and testing standards to yield
fully warranted products.

Key Successes2011-2015
On Oct. 7, 2015, President Obama signed S. 565, The Federal Vehicle Repair Cost Savings Act of 2015. Remanufacturing legislation is now law.
The new law requires federal agencies to encourage the use of remanufactured parts in federal vehicle repairs when doing so lowers costs, maintains quality and performance, and does not compromise safety. The bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) in February 2015. One month later, in March, Congressman Bill Huizenga (D-Mich.) introduced the companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives.The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) and its remanufacturing division the Motor & Equipment Remanufacturers Association (MERA) applaud the efforts of policymakers and industry members for pursuing this effort.
