What Capital Reman Exchange does

Capital Reman Exchange, LLC is a Parker, Colorado-based remanufacturer of medium and heavy-duty diesel engines and components, founded in 2014 by Brian Pfister and Brian Byrne after they purchased assets from a Denver bank's liquidation of an older remanufacturing operation. The company remanufactures long-block and short-block engines, camshafts, crankshafts, cylinder heads, connecting rods, engine blocks, injectors, turbochargers, and engine rebuild kits for major OEMs including Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Mack, John Deere, and Navistar/International, supported by an in-house, state-of-the-art machine shop with Rottler EM103H, Berco crankshaft grinders, Sunnen machinery, Gleason Straightening, and CBN-based cylinder block machining. Rigorous multi-point quality control processes (e.g., a 25-point crankshaft process, a 12-step cylinder block process, and up to 21-point teardown) underpin a 12-month unlimited-miles Signature Warranty and a 2-week production turnaround versus an industry-standard 30 days, with stated capacity of roughly 25 engines remanufactured per month.

The company sells primarily on a quote-based, direct-sales motion (phone and website request-a-quote) to Class 8 trucking fleets and owner-operators, independent service shops and dealerships, and industrial customers in agriculture, mining, construction, and oil and gas, shipping nationally and to New Zealand, Russia, Brazil, and the Caribbean. Unit-priced revenue streams include remanufactured engines, parts, and kits, supplemented by core-purchase transactions and machine shop services for industrial customers; customer payment plans are offered via Affirm. In January 2026, Capital Reman Exchange was acquired by Alliant Power of Madison, Wisconsin, integrating its remanufacturing capability with Alliant Power's 300,000+ OEM-quality parts catalog and broader North American distribution, and now operates as a subsidiary within the Alliant Power family.
