One such manufacturer is Caterpillar Inc. (Peoria, IL). The heavy-equipment manufacturer has long had a corporate commitment to environment. In a 1992 corporate publication, Caterpillar pledged to "incorporate environmental considerations into design and manufacturing processes...and develop and apply technologies and processes that prevent pollution and minimize waste."
One way the company is fulfilling that promise is through remanufacturing engines and engine components. Caterpillar’s remanufacturing operations began in 1972, and the company now operates three remanufacturing facilities in Corinth, MS, and Prentiss, MS.
