About APDI
APDI has a wealth of experience in remanufacturing, for many years implementing the strategies and principles of the Circular Economy. Our technical and development skills being rarely matched in today’s world of quick diagnosis, module exchange, and test. Our technical team ensures that our remanufactured products meet or exceed the life performance of the original materials. Our commercial teams experience in sourcing of OE and alternative components and management of the Reverse Supply Chain, ensures our customers benefits via remanufacturing are maximised, efficiently and transparently to their core business.
During the intensive development processes, products are rigorously tested and FMEAs for both products and processes completed to ensure that risks are assessed and nothing is left to chance. Specially trained staff follow validation and verification procedures giving customers confidence that the product will meet its intended performance and reliability criteria.
APDI Ltd welcomes the opportunity to work with your design teams advising on the best practices in component, sub assemblies or modules design, ensuring that cost efficient re-use, remanufacture or simply ease of disposal opportunities are maximised.

Our Mission and Principles
of Remanufacturing
Our Mission is to be regarded as experts in the re-manufacture of electro-mechanical modules/ assemblies. Click a segment for more details.
Learn the module application and customer expectations. Understand the module design and component functionality.
Learn the failure modes- Critical to know the reman process will capture all failure causes. Develop re-use criteria for all components.
Ensure capability of new materials. OE materials/components preferred. Rigorous field trials. In-house testing to ensure functionality and life.
Understand assembly requirements and settings- dedicated tooling and fixtures to provide capability. Fully trained workforce participating in the development of the process and FMEA’s. Robust final inspection. 100% machine test often used. Continual improvement as process matures. Build team involvement.
Work closely with customers’ & supply chain from design through manufacture to field support specialists.
The Circular Economy
APD have been at the forefront of the re-use/recycling industry, saving over 100,000 tonnes of landfill in the past 10 years.
