STP-Parts – Cores for a better life

Core management

Used parts management that makes remanufacturing predictable

The biggest hurdle for remanufacturers is not technology but the availability of suitable cores. That is exactly where we come in: sourcing, inspection, forecasting and logistics from a single source.

Six services, one closed loop

Each service feeds the next: what we buy, we identify and inspect before it goes into stock and from there to the remanufacturer.

  • Sourcing & purchasing

    Worldwide purchasing of OEM used parts. We work with workshops, parts dealers, wholesalers, fleet operators and recycling companies and offer transparent, fair terms for single lots as well as regular volumes.

    • From single parts to pallets
    • Collection and packaging logistics
    • Reliable, fast processing
  • Identification

    Cores are positively identified by OE numbers, manufacturer codes and design variants. This avoids mix-ups that cost remanufacturers time and money.

    • Matching of OE / reference numbers
    • Recognition of variants and generations
    • Documented recording
  • Quality inspection

    Every part is checked for completeness, housing damage and signs of disassembly. Only cores that allow economic remanufacturing enter stock.

    • Visual and completeness check
    • Categorisation by condition
    • Lower rejection rate at the customer
  • Demand forecasting

    Cores must be sourced before they are needed. We monitor markets, evaluate demand statistically and build up stock where shortages are foreseeable.

    • Market monitoring and probing
    • Statistical stock optimisation
    • Early reservation for partners
  • Warehousing

    Type-sorted storage in Hilden with short routes to the motorway, Düsseldorf Airport and the sea ports. Stock is available at any time.

    • Storage sorted by type
    • Stock information on request
    • Central Rhine-Ruhr location
  • Logistics & delivery

    Picking and shipping aligned with your production cycle: as single consignment, pallet or container, within Europe and worldwide.

    • European and worldwide shipping
    • Packaging by part type
    • Alignment with core return conditions
