Europe’s leading provider of affordable and reliable automotive remanufacturing solutions

About us

At ACTRONICS, we breathe new life into automotive electronic components through our innovative remanufacturing process, saving you money while protecting the planet.

This approach isn't just more economical than repairs or new parts, it promotes sustainability in the industry by reducing reliance on brand-new components.

We take pride in helping our customers save money whilst reducing environmental impact.

Our founder's story

In 2004, Leon Kleine Staarman was contemplating the way electrical components in cars were being repaired, or more commonly, being replaced entirely.

Not only was this process wasteful in terms of cost to both customers and the environment, but it wasn't resulting in better-performing or more reliable parts. Leon believed there must be a better way of introducing enhanced performance and resilience into faulty components. And so, in 2005, he established ACTRONICS.

Nearly two decades later, Leon is recognised as a global authority in the world of remanufacturing, and ACTRONICS has become one of the world's leading remanufacturers.

Our commitment to the environment

When Leon founded ACTRONICS, he was deeply aware of the vast amount of waste produced by the automotive repair industry, which drove his passion for remanufacturing.

The automotive manufacturing sector uses numerous materials that can harm the environment—a concern that's particularly pronounced in the electric vehicle market due to the metals required for battery production.

Through remanufacturing, we:

• Reduce demand for new parts
• Give existing parts a second life
• Minimise e-waste going to landfill
• Foster a culture of reuse and environmental responsibility

Our commitment to the environment is validated by our ISO14001:2015 accreditation, which recognises our:

• Enhanced environmental performance
• Fulfilment of compliance obligations
• Achievement of environmental objectives

Providing professional and sustainable solutions

In today's climate of increasing demand for sustainable solutions from consumers, legislators and industry regulators, our remanufacturing techniques reduce the need for new components by breathing new life into defective ones.

Historically, motorists were accustomed to having electrical components replaced wholesale. ACTRONICS has transformed this approach by not only regenerating defective electronic components but also saving customers considerable sums by eliminating the need for new parts.

At our Colchester facility, our team works on daily testing and remanufacturing of ECUs, ABS units, OBCs, body control units, instrument clusters, throttle bodies and more. Our goal is to extend the lifespan of parts whilst delivering superior quality compared to original parts. We trust our processes, which is why all solutions come with a two-year warranty.

The right-to-repair movement has gained significant traction, with consumers increasingly seeking alternatives to replacement. Therefore, it makes sense that European motorists have an option to have faulty electrical car parts fixed, saving them money, and the planet the environmental cost of extracting, refining, manufacturing and delivery.

With nearly 20 years of experience in automotive remanufacturing, ACTRONICS leads the field across Europe. We remain committed to innovating and refining our processes to benefit both our customers and the environment.

Award-winning excellence

In 2018, our Chief Operating Officer, Thijs Jasink received the prestigious Best Reman Ambassador award at the Rematec Conference, the leading global platform for remanufacturers.

This recognition wasn't solely for ACTRONICS' superior remanufacturing techniques; Thijs was specifically honoured for his considerable contributions to advancing the industry and raising its profile. Thijs maintains a deep-seated passion for remanufacturing, continuously researching innovative techniques and processes to benefit garages, dealerships and their customers.

Innovation is our strength

Continuous improvement and upgrading our suite of solutions is what we focus on, which is why our Research & Development department is solely focused on improving our approach. We always seek to refine remanufacturing techniques to give car-owners more value for their money.

Our advanced facilities have equipment that is often developed in-house to carry out remanufacturing. We do not aim to only fix, but to create structural improvements in the components through our remanufacturing techniques, offering better quality, more value and a longer lifespan.

Innovation: our driving force 

Our dedication to continuous improvement is embodied in our Research & Development department, which focuses on upgrading our methods. We constantly refine our remanufacturing techniques to provide garages, dealerships and motorists with superior value for money.

Our state-of-the-art facilities utilise largely in-house developed equipment for remanufacturing. Rather than simply repairing components, we implement structural improvements through our remanufacturing process, delivering enhanced quality, greater value and extended longevity.

We’re ISO certified 

We're proud to hold both ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 certifications for the remanufacture and supply of replacement automotive electrical parts, as well as our systematic approach to managing environmental impact.
