Atlas Copco has announced the launch of its Reman Equipment Program in India, an initiative designed to restore used compressors and engines to their original performance standards. The main objective of the program is to extend the operational life of the equipment, reduce total cost of ownership, minimize environmental impact through sustainable practices and to provide customers with reliable, high-quality refurbished equipment. The company delivered its first restoredcompressor under the program and is ready to deliver customized high-quality solutions to meet future industry needs.
This program stands out with its ability to offer refurbished equipment that matches the performance of new units at a fraction of the cost. Customers benefit from significant savings as they do not have to purchase new equipment, reduced downtime with faster turnaround times, and get access to upgraded technology and extended equipment lifespan with reliable performance. Industries such as construction, mining, water well, oil and gas will benefit from this initiative, with access to robust and dependable compressors designed to meet their specific operational demands.

With a focus on reducing carbon footprint, promoting resource management, and aligning with global environmental goals, the program supports energy efficiency, waste reduction, and reuse of materials. Atlas Copco anticipates continued growth in the remanufactured equipment market, driven by rising demand for sustainable and cost-effective solutions. The company plans to expand its remanufacturing capabilities and continue investing in advanced technologies to meet evolving customer needs.
