What THE REMAKERS does
THE REMAKERS is a privately held French remanufacturing subsidiary operating under The Future is NEUTRAL, a circular economy company jointly owned by Renault Group and SUEZ. Founded in 1949 and headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, the company remanufactures automotive parts and components — including high-voltage and electronic sub-assemblies such as inverters for electric vehicles like the Renault Zoe and LED headlamp modules — to reintroduce them into the automotive lifecycle as aftermarket and OEM-grade replacements. It operates within an integrated group alongside sibling entities INDRA (end-of-life vehicle recycling), GAIA, Boone Comenor Metalimpex, and, more recently, the acquired Pollini Group, forming a full-stack pipeline from collection and dismantling through reuse, remanufacturing, recycling, and resale.
The company's go-to-market is primarily B2B, anchored by strategic co-development relationships with Renault Group (its parent), Valeo, and Stellantis, with flagship products demonstrated at industry events such as Rematec 2025. Distribution runs both directly to OEMs and through the parent group's marketplaces, which listed approximately 11 million circular economy parts for sale in 2025. Customer coverage spans automotive manufacturers and suppliers, vehicle repairers and insurers, and individual or independent repair purchasers — a horizontal segmentation approach. Revenue is generated through direct remanufactured-part sales to OEM and aftermarket channels, complemented by marketplace monetization through the parent platforms; specific pricing terms are not publicly disclosed.
At an industrial scale, the group processed 400,000 end-of-life vehicles and produced 320,000 remanufactured parts in 2025, while reusing 9 million parts and recycling 2 million tons of material. The Future is NEUTRAL is positioning as the only European operator offering competitive circular economy solutions across this full value chain. Recent strategic moves — including the Pollini Group acquisition, the Opisto cross-European used-parts marketplace launch, and new EV electronics remanufacturing programs with Valeo and Stellantis — point to ongoing geographic and product-line expansion beyond the traditional Renault captive supply base.
