The Huntington remanufacturing f acility maintains th e same level of q uality and custom er service as the Ben dix OEM facilities . By strategically in tegratin g Six Sigm a methodology with state-of -the-ar t equ ipm ent and c ontinu ous im pr ovem ent processing, we guarantee that every genuine Bendix compressor is as good as or better than the original.

As the industry leader, B endix Commercial Ve hicle Systems LLC has been producing com pressors longer and better than the rest. Our reputation for quality has been earned over decades of proven world class performance. Just look at the facts.

• The Bendix com pressor rem anufacturing Center of Excellence in Hu ntington is an ISO14001, QS9 000 and TS16949 certified f acility. This certific ation requires well-documented proces ses and sophisticated qual ity standards and adherence to an established set of quality processes assuring that each compressor is remanufactured under c onsistent, high-qualit y methods. Many rebuil ders are simply unable to ach ieve or maintain the rigorous quality assurance and management standards necessary for this quality certification.

• All components are inspected and then replaced or remanufactured to the highest Bendix OEM manufacturing and pro duct s pecif icatio ns, lon g the in dus try stand ard. Sinc e Ben dix m anuf acturing m ethods and product engineering records are proprietary, it is virtually impossible for any other rebuilder to m eet these standards.

• All Bendix remanufactured compressors meet the Bendix OE manufacturing functional, end-of-line test specifications. Bendix does not share its manufacturing test specifications. Therefore, even if another rebuilder could test their product, they would be unable to guarantee testing to these stringent requirements.

• Bendix discards and repl aces all wear com ponents − o-rings, gaskets, pis ton rings, bearing inser ts, sleeve bearings, unloader springs, seals, studs, lock washers, pipe fittings, inlet and d ischarge valves, inlet and discharge springs, wrist pin plugs and safety valves − with new components in all remanufactured compressors. As noted above, other rebuilders do not have access to the Bendix components, manufacturing standards or product specifications to guarantee they can meet original equipment specifications.

• During the remanufacturing process, genu ine Bendix compressors are frequently upgraded with the latest manufacturing methods, technologies, and product enhancements, giving our customers product often better than the original. These upgrades are done even if the replaced compressor did not have the enhancement when new. Many times these upgrades are made in the remanufactured product in conjunction with the change in the original equipment products. Only Bendix can implement these enhancements in the rem anufactured products becaus e, once again, the proprietary nature of the product manufacturing and engi neering specifications does not allow other rebuilders a ccess to this information or these components.

• Finally, if there are insuf ficient remanufactured com ponents to produce a complete compress or assembly, Bendix will, and does, substitute new assemblies as remanufactured.
