Reparlab: celebrating 20 years of circular economy and 1 million parts repaired

Based in Nancy, France, Reparlab has been extending the life cycle of automotive electronic parts since 2005, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. Reparlab plays a critical role in FORVIA’s sustainability journey, processing several tenth of thousands repairs every year with 96% success rate. Reparlab has developed a multi-brand catalogue of over 1,500 products across 15 families, including navigation systems and radios, ECUs, AdBlue tanks, instrument clusters, and has recently launched the repair of ABS modules. In 2025, Reparlab celebrates its 20th anniversary and has reached 1 million repairs carried out.

"We are thrilled to participate in Rematec and present our solid know-how in repair and remanufacturing solutions to a global audience," said Elisabeth DELVAL, Group Sustainability Vice-President at FORVIA. "This event provides an excellent platform to connect with industry leaders, share our expertise, and demonstrate our commitment to sustainability."

A Key Player in Circular Economy and Sustainability

FORVIA’s repair and remanufacturing solutions significantly cut down on waste generated by defective parts, while reducing by more than 85% the CO2 emissions and the needs of virgin materials and energy that a new part would generate, thus contributing to FORVIA’s ambitious Net Zero targets.

It offers an affordable solution to car owners all over Europe, with a saving of 50% to 80% compared to the replacement by a new part. By combining environmental virtues with financial efficiency, Reparlab exemplifies how sustainable solutions can benefit both businesses and consumers.

Expanding Product portfolio and Global Reach

Over the years, Reparlab has built strong partnerships with major OEMs, delivering electronic repairs to more than 7,000 dealerships and garages across all Europe.

This year, Reparlab is accelerating its development, through new product lines and extended geographical footprint with the opening of a repair center in the UK.

It will also expand its business in the independent aftermarket, and implement synergies with FORVIA HELLA.

Supported by a sustained growth in aftermarket, remanufacturing, and electronics content in vehicles, Reparlab’s ambition is to double its activities in the next 3 years.

"Our participation in Rematec underlines our commitment to advancing sustainable practices in the automotive industry," said Vanessa Picron, Vice President of the Europe Division of Faurecia Clarion Electronics. "We are proud to contribute to a greener future. Our goal is to further expand our product catalogue to answer the emerging legislations that favours repair over replacement, as well as our footprint expansion.”
