Reman Day Highlights Cost Savings for NZ Farmers
As manufacturers mark Reman Day, CNH Industrial says it is a timely reminder for farmers of the operational and cost-effective benefits remanufactured parts offer.
While April 23 was just another day for many manufacturers across the globe, it marked Reman Day, a timely reminder for farmers of the operational and cost-effective benefits re-manufactured parts can offer to their ongoing machinery maintenance, while also minimising environmental impact.
Recognised globally, Reman Day is led by the Remanufacturing Industrial Council (RIC) and highlights the value of restoring used components to perform like new, extending the product’s life, while reducing waste and the reliance on new raw materials.
Heath Joiner, Head of Parts & Service, for CNH Australia and New Zealand, comments “currently farmers continue to face increasing external financial pressures, including fuel, freight and input costs and when farm machinery parts require replacement, this can add costs further in time, money and productivity.
“Remanufacturing is a smart way to help lower costs for farmers, avoid complicated and often expensive rebuilds, and importantly maintain machinery uptime. It not only supports farmers’ bottom lines, but for our industry, while also playing a critical role in reducing waste and conserving natural resources. It really is a win-win for both the agricultural sector and the environment,“ said Heath.
In 2024, CNH Reman globally reduced raw material consumption by approximately 5,200 tonnes by refurbishing used components, noting that up to 85% of an engine can be salvaged and remanufactured multiple times, significantly extending its lifecycle value.
Also delivering substantial environmental benefits, remanufactured parts can require up to 85% less energy to produce compared to new components, reducing emissions across manufacturing, energy consumption and the broader supply chain. CNH is globally targeting 90% recyclability across new products by 2030.
Offering a budget-friendly option for Case IH, New Holland and CASE Construction machinery owners, thousands of parts are available across more than 20,000 applications, including transmissions, drivelines, engines, electrical components, harvest parts and hydraulics.
Remanufactured parts are OEM-backed and offered with a two-year warranty, giving customers a greater peace of mind.
