What Rematec does

Rematec is a trade show and exhibition brand focused exclusively on the global automotive remanufacturing industry, organized and operated by RAI Amsterdam B.V. from its headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Its core offering consists of two flagship physical events: Rematec Amsterdam, a biennial international trade show (next edition April 13-15, 2027) featuring exhibition floors, an RMTC Congress, a Battery Corner, a RotY Awards ceremony, and an Innovation Area; and Rematec Asia Conference, an annual summit in Guangzhou, China that bridges East and West in remanufacturing. The platform connects remanufacturers, aftermarket suppliers, distributors, and EV/battery industry players from more than 80 countries.

The underlying product surface combines physical events with a content ecosystem — Rematec News (a dedicated industry magazine and news portal), a monthly newsletter, a Products and Services Directory, and image and video libraries — to serve remanufacturing professionals year-round. Specialized sub-brands include the Battery Corner (battery lifecycle and recycling), Innovation Area (robotics and AI in remanufacturing), RotY Awards, RMTC Congress, Rematec Theatre, and Rematec Masterclasses. AI and reverse logistics are increasingly positioned as featured themes, reflected in recent editorial coverage and show programming.

Rematec monetizes through exhibitor participation fees, booth rentals, event sponsorships, and associated services (stand building, exhibitor portals, registration) — supplemented by advertising and sponsorship revenues from Rematec News and media partnerships. Distribution is anchored by RAI Amsterdam's worldwide sales agent network covering China, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Hungary, Belarus, Romania, Bulgaria, the Baltics, Iberia, South America, Türkiye, the UK/Ireland, and the US/Canada, with a dedicated RAI China office (Ruiang Convention and Exhibition Shanghai) handling local sales and visitor coordination. Key strategic alliances with APRA, FIRM, AAG and Sinomach provide industry legitimacy, while 20+ media partners (Aftermarket Intel, Engine Builder, KRAFTHAND, etc.) extend reach.
