GKN Automotive - no. 1 in new and remanufactured driveshafts
Driveshafts are safety-related components. Only professionally remanufactured driveshafts can reach the quality which is fully accepted by OES.
We have the capabilities – technical engineering knowledge and experience – as well as the machinery and access to new components to regenerate old driveshafts to OES standards. Thus our remanufactured driveshafts offer the same quality and safety features as new driveshafts would have.
GKN Automotive runs two certified remanufacturing facilities in Europe with an annual output of more than one million driveshafts.
A truly responsible business
- Our products help reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emission.
- Most GKN Automotive manufacturing locations as well as the two GKN remanufacturing sites are certified to ISO 14001.
- Our packaging is designed to be reused for core return.
- We take care of the waste management for used parts and residual materials (i.e. used oil and swarf).
- Remanufactured replacement components preserve natural resources.
- Remanufacturing saves energy and minimizes the waste that used parts would produce.
