We acknowledge a notable milestone that was recently celebrated, unfortunately later than planned. Our esteemed Chairman had the honour of presenting a special 35 year membership award to none other than APRA Europe's founder, Fernand Weiland.   Fernand is not only a Founder, Honorary Member and has a place in our Hall of Fame, he is a true cornerstone of the remanufacturing industry. He continues to show unwavering commitment and active participation in our community. His efforts have been instrumental in making APRA Europe what it is today.   Thank you Fernand for your tireless efforts and contributions. Without you, APRA Europe would not be the thriving organisation it is today.

Welcome our new member BTS Turbo! Thank you for making the Voice of Remanufacturing strong. Here is a short company presentation written by BTS Turbo: BTS Turbo is Europe's market leader in the field of exhaust gas turbochargers in the independent aftermarket. As an innovative player in the field of turbocharger remanufacturing, BTS has been committed to the highest quality, technological excellence and sustainable solutions since its foundation in 2004. As part of the Bauer Group, BTS benefits from over 60 years of experience in the fields of engines, machines and technology. A milestone in the company's history is the new, state-of-the-art production hall, which was completed in November 2024. This expansion not only creates capacity for further growth, but also underlines the company's long-term strategy of increasing the efficiency and precision of its manufacturing processes by using the most advanced technologies. New machining and measuring machines, as well as state-of-the-art electronic equipment, raise the quality level of BTS Reman turbochargers to a new level. Remanufacturing – the professional reconditioning of used parts – is not just a service for BTS, but an obligation to sustainable economic activity. This approach not only conserves valuable resources, but also reduces emissions. For this commitment, BTS was awarded the German Raw Materials Efficiency Prize in 2017. With certification according to DIN ISO 9001, BTS guarantees standardised and controlled processes at the highest level. The demand for quality runs through all areas – from the management of used parts to the final inspection of the products. As a new member of APRA (Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association), BTS is now part of an international network of industry leaders and is driving the exchange and further development in the field of remanufacturing. With a clear focus on innovation, sustainability and growth, BTS shows that economic success and ecological responsibility can go hand in hand perfectly. The company relies not only on technical investments, but also on the training of new specialists to meet the growing demands of the industry in the long term. BTS – innovation for a sustainable future. #apra #apraeurope #Remanufacturing #circulareconomy #aftermarket
