Since its inception in 2001, Rematec has established itself as one of Europe’s leading trade shows for remanufacturing professionals. Hosted biannually at RAI Amsterdam, the event serves as a vital hub for industry leaders in the automotive aftermarket and remanufacturing sectors. With a strong emphasis on sustainable manufacturing, reverse logistics, and cutting-edge remanufacturing technologies, Rematec provides a unique platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and business development.
This year, Premier Components had the privilege of attending and exhibiting at Rematec Amsterdam 2025, engaging with industry peers, exploring new opportunities, and celebrating a significant milestone within our team.
Insights from the Premier Team:
Reflecting on this year’s exhibition, James noted that while the first day saw a lower footfall and limited engagement than previous years, the second day was far more productive, providing opportunities to connect with several new potential clients. One particularly promising discussion was with a long-standing customer in the remanufacturing sector, who expressed interest in sourcing AC compressors - an exciting prospect for Premier Components. James also met with four new customers and identified multiple purchase opportunities, reinforcing the importance of maintaining a presence at Rematec.
For Jose, attending his first Rematec was a valuable experience. He enjoyed meeting customers face-to-face, strengthening relationships, and discussing ways to enhance collaboration moving forward. The opportunity to engage in direct conversations with longstanding industry partners provided more profound insights into shared goals and expectations.
While overall attendance levels varied throughout the event, the chance to establish and expand professional relationships proved to be one of the most rewarding aspects of the exhibition.
A Special Recognition for Premier Components:
One of the standout moments at Rematec Amsterdam 2025 was the well-deserved recognition of Premier Components’ Financial Director, Danny Edwards. APRA honoured Danny with the ‘Hall of Fame’ award, acknowledging his exceptional lifework, passionate dedication to remanufacturing, and remarkable contributions to the industry. This prestigious accolade highlights Danny’s impact on the sector and Premier Components’ ongoing commitment to excellence in remanufacturing.
Looking Ahead to the Future:
Despite fluctuating attendance throughout the event, the opportunity to engage with industry professionals, explore new business prospects, and celebrate key achievements made Rematec Amsterdam 2025 a valuable experience for Premier Components. As we continue to grow our presence across Europe in the automotive aftermarket parts industry, we remain focused on fostering strong industry relationships and embracing innovative solutions that drive sustainable development.
We look forward to seeing how the industry evolves and reconnecting with our peers at future events. Until then, we remain committed to strengthening partnerships, exploring new opportunities, and advancing the remanufacturing sector.
