Quality Remanufacturing

What Quality Remanufacturing does

Quality Remanufacturing, LLC is a privately held automotive parts remanufacturer founded in August 2015 and headquartered at 565 E 37th Street, Paterson, New Jersey. The company remanufactures starters, alternators, brake calipers (including heavy-duty air brake calipers), CV axles, rack & pinion units, gear boxes, and power steering pumps, restoring end-of-life automotive components to like-new or better performance meeting or exceeding OEM specifications, with a 1-year / 12,000-mile warranty. It was established by two former employees of Quality Rebuilders — a predecessor that operated nearly 40 years before closing — and retained approximately 60% of that workforce, providing continuity of remanufacturing expertise across multiple OEM brands (Delco Remy, Bosch, Denso, Hitachi, Leece Neville/Prestolite, C.E. Niehoff, Iskra, Penntex, Powerline, and Vanner, among others) for both domestic and import vehicles.

The company's underlying technology centers on state-of-the-art electrical test equipment and a computerized component inventory that enable same-day remanufacturing of most alternators and starters, supported by factory-trained staff who match and assemble new and tested recycled components. Every unit is tested after final assembly. The operation is environmentally oriented, using responsible parts-cleaning methods and preserving the whole form of products to save over 80% of the energy and raw materials required for new manufacture.

Quality Remanufacturing operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market targeting automotive aftermarket distributors, jobbers, repair shops, and dealerships, primarily in the United States. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company maintains large shelf inventory for immediate fulfillment of common orders and offers same-day special-order shipping via UPS direct to customers, backed by a same-day core credit program. Its commercial channels include field sales representatives who run clinics and jobber calls, a proprietary online catalog at custom.partref.com/QualityRemanufacturing, and the company website (qr-usa.com). The company is privately held by its founders with no institutional investors, is described as relatively debt-free, and does not disclose revenue.
