The
Automotive Parts Remanufacturers
Association (APRA) celebrated their
70th Anniversary at the
BIG R Show, where
past Chairman, Ivan Cregger was on hand at the APRA
History Booth, with pictures from the 1940's and
1950;s as well as other association
memorabilia.
Cregger, who joined APRA in the late 1940’s and served as
Chairman in 1983, answered questions about the people
and the things that helped APRA grow from a small
group of business people with a common vision to the
worldwide association that it is today.
APRA President, Bill Gager, added, “The members and
volunteer leaders over the past 70 years had a real
vision of what the rebuilding/remanufacturing
industry should be, and they worked hard to make it
happen.
Our thanks to those pioneers who saw the
need for remanufactured parts, seized the opportunity
to grow as an industry and worked together to provide
society with both environmentally and pocketbook
friendly automotive and truck parts.”
APRA is a non-profit, international trade association
serving over 1,000 companies involved in the $35
Billion/year motor vehicle parts
rebuilding/remanufacturing industry.
