The OEM has apparently “respond[ed] to customer demand” with the range of devices.
AMEInfo reported that the OEM has decided to respond to the “increasing demand for cost-effective and sustainable” printing with four remanufactured versions of its “best-selling” A3 MFPs, including the imageRUNNER 3025Ne, 3045Ne, 5065Ne (all monochrome) and iRC3580Ne (colour).
The machines are said by the OEM to have been remanufactured at a “unique” factory in Glessen, Germany, with devices remanufactured using up to 93 percent of existing components, thereby, according to Canon, “minimising the need for new resources and reducing carbon dioxide emissions”, as well as making it possible to “offer the new range of products at a price that is up to 60 percent lower than devices” manufactured using new components.
The OEM went on to note that its device remanufacturing programme “gives used devices a second life” through its process, where they are “disassembled to the bare frame level” before being “extensively checked and cleaned” before being rebuilt “using existing and new parts”, with all wearing parts “replaced with new ones regardless of their condition to guarantee performance”, and each machine updated to “comply with the latest quality standards and legal regulations”.
The devices are said to also be “equivalent in appearance, quality and warranty protection to a completely new device”, meaning customers “don’t need to compromise on cost or environmental responsibility”.
Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director for Canon Middle East, commented: “By considering every stage of the product lifecycle, the remanufactured devices represent Canon’s continuous commitment to delivering high-quality and functional products with reduced environmental impact.”
