by Christine Brook, Farm Equipment magazine Deere & Co. recently held a groundbreaking for its remanufacturing facility in Stafford, Mo. On May 5, Deere & Co. company hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on the site of the John Deere Reman Core facility in Stafford, Mo. Deere & Co. first announced last fall. "The project will expand the John Deere Core Center facility by an additional 120,000 square feet and represents an investment of $13.5 million," according to Kevin Schrag, John Deere Reman Manager who offered an overview of the facility's primary impacts across the ag equipment industry. John Deere Reman remanufactures engines, transmissions, axles, hydraulics, engine components, and electronics products to deliver like-new performance at a lower cost, with reduced environmental impact. Reman's skilled employees use a variety of techniques to bring components back to their original John Deere specifications, or better. The news summary about the facility groundbreaking event also stated that John Deere Reman employs over 500 people and operates out of five different locations in the Springfield area.
The company further reported that the John Deere Reman expansion is critical for Deere in multiple ways. First, it will provide the space needed to store and manage Core. Core is the lifeblood of any remanufacturing business, according to the company overview. It is the used and worn-out material that is returned, disassembled, cleaned, and qualified to use as critical raw material that gets transformed to John Deere Reman products. Increased space to collect and manage this Core will fuel growth of its entire remanufacturing business. Secondly, noted Schrag, the expansion will drive increased operational efficiency by consolidating outside warehouses and improving the overall flow of materials in its remanufacturing process. Advantages for Dealers, Customers and Community The company noted key benefits for dealers and customers which will be realized with the new reman facility. For John Deere dealers, Reman creates service capacity for major components like engines, transmissions, and axles. By using Reman components, lengthy repairs can be avoided and valuable technician time is saved, enabling John Deere dealers to serve additional customers who might otherwise be out of reach. For the company, John Deere Reman bolsters Deere's longstanding commitment to supporting equipment long into the lifecycle of the product. For customers, the John Deere Reman business is a cornerstone of Deere's commitment to delivering exceptional value in several ways. It offers complete replacement options for major components, such as complete engines, transmissions, and axles, ensuring customers experience minimal downtime and can get back to work quickly. In addition, the company reported, it offers products at a lower-cost alternative to new, without compromising quality or performance. This includes replacement parts such as fuel components, starters, alternators, turbos, electronic controllers, displays, and more. John Deere Reman components are backed by the same, if not better, warranty than new products. To read the entire article click here. Tweet |
