This new initiative aims to boost the performance and longevity of Dana Spicer™ Off-Highway drivetrain components. With this innovative program, Dana seeks to assist equipment owners while aligning with worldwide sustainability objectives.
Overview of the Dana Certified Reman™ Program
The Dana Certified Reman program is currently operational at various facilities throughout Europe.

This extensive outreach reflects Dana's commitment to enhancing the life cycles of critical drivetrain technologies.
Dedication to Quality and Performance
Roberto Marino, Dana's Aftermarket Commercial Director for Global Off-Highway, shared that this program is designed for budget-conscious equipment owners, focusing on performance and efficiency. He noted, "Our goal is to reclaim and restore authentic Spicer parts, providing like-new performance at competitive prices and quicker delivery times."
Uplifting Remanufacturing Standards
This program sets itself apart from traditional remanufacturing services by implementing stringent requirements for approved facilities. Each location must invest in advanced test benches and comprehensive technician training, ensuring compliance with quality protocols. Bill Nunnery, Senior Director of Global Aftermarket Sales and Marketing at Dana, emphasized that the evaluation and certification process for service centers is thorough, consisting of more than 20 performance criteria.
Environmental Benefits and Cost-Effectiveness
By remanufacturing essential drivetrain components like axles, transmissions, torque converters, and gearboxes, Dana actively supports sustainability initiatives. The remanufacturing process significantly cuts down on waste, minimizing the environmental effects that often come with manufacturing new parts. Additionally, this initiative helps reduce the total cost of ownership for customers, showcasing its dual focus on cost-effectiveness and environmental responsibility.
Leading Through Innovation
The remanufacturing process involves multiple stages, including detailed assessments, disassembly, reconditioning, and testing, followed by final inspection and certification. After completion, the remanufactured components are backed by a warranty and come with a Certificate of Conformity issued by Dana, ensuring accountability and quality assurance.
