Author: Christian Müller - VP Marketing at TecAlliance January 30, 2023 Duration: 34:43
We talk about how remanufacturing fits into the broader sustainability topic, what MERA has achieved in its already 12 years of existence, that wording plays an important role in the whole process of bringing remanufactured parts back into the market, that these parts are also a great business case and how topics like electrification & E-commerce affect the remanufactured parts business. John’s highly knowledgeable in the field, extremely passionate, he’s a real advocate of the remanufacturing topic and I think he’s on the right track with all his initiatives we’re going to talk about, genuinely nice guy as well – so without further ado let’s jump right into the podcast.
