To receive Manufactured Again Certification, remanufacturers are required to submit third party
evidence of conformance to the accepted quality standards. The Manufactured Again
Verification Committee oversees the program and reviews all applications.
“With the Manufactured Again Certification program, our company’s remanufacturing facilities
are held to the same quality standards as new manufacturing facilities,” said H. David
Overbeeke, MERA vice chairman, and member of the board of directors of REMY Power
Products. “The presence of the Manufactured Again Certification Mark in the marketplace will
deliver real value for our commercial customers and the end users of our products.”
MERA Chairman Peter Butterfield, who also serves as chairman and CEO of Omega
Environmental Technologies, added, “Following the passage of federal legislation favorable to
remanufacturing in 2015, we recognized that government procurement officers—and all
buyers, for that matter—lacked a resource to properly identify remanufactured goods that are
produced in a factory setting. The valuable materials and embodied energy in most finished
products make remanufacturing a logical choice before recycling.”
