The Motor Equipment Remanufacturers Association (MERA) has joined a growing coalition of leading organizations supporting NACE/CARS 2014 and Industry Week in Detroit this summer. MERA will host a Remanufacturing Technology Expo on Thursday, July 31, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Ambassador Ballroom at the COBO Convention Center.
“We are excited to have MERA join us in Detroit,” said Dan Risley, ASA president and executive director. “This is a very important organization in the automotive market, and their participation, content and attendance is beneficial to Industry Week. The overriding purpose of the event is to bring the industry together, and MERA’s involvement further solidifies our goal of deeper market coverage.”
Added John Chalifoux, president and CEO of MERA, “Remanufactured parts offer like-new quality and real value that technicians and end users can trust. During the MERA Remanufacturing Technology Expo, members will showcase the advanced methods they use to restore core components to original or better condition and performance.”
