Remanufacturing at Liebherr Mining: commitment to the future

The Liebherr Mining Reman Program guarantees added value for both customers and for the environment. Remanufacturing, also known as “reman”, is the one of the most cost-effective choices for customers as the process uses the valuable resources of a used component to restore that component to as-new quality. Because remanufacturing uses fewer resources to produce components than building them from scratch, this program also significantly reduces the greenhouse gases emitted and the number of raw materials needed to replace used components. As such, Liebherr chooses to remanufacture components whenever possible and desired by customers.
