A certification mark that champions quality and sustainability in remanufacturing is now officially trademarked in Canada.
MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers announced that the Manufactured Again certification mark has earned Canadian trademark status, joining existing registrations in the United States, China and Malaysia. The mark signals that remanufactured products meet the same international quality standards as new manufacturing.
“This trademark in Canada marks another important step in our mission to elevate and mainstream remanufacturing on a global scale,” said John Chalifoux, chief operating officer of MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers. “Manufactured Again certification gives our members a powerful way to demonstrate that remanufactured products deliver both quality and environmental benefits.”
The program, administered by MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, is built on ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 standards, two widely recognized quality management systems. ISO 9001 applies across industries, while IATF 16949 is specific to automotive manufacturing.
Participating companies across North America use the program to show their commitment to customers, partners and sustainability, an announcement from MEMA explained. The mark reflects the program’s core promise, “Quality Plus Sustainability,” reinforcing that remanufacturing can deliver top-tier quality while reducing environmental impact.
“Manufactured Again certification is a powerful way to showcase that remanufacturing delivers the same quality as new manufacturing while advancing sustainability,” said Mario Garza, vice president of category management at Motorcar Parts of America. “This milestone in Canada further strengthens the trust and confidence we provide to our customers worldwide.”
