APRA Releases
Fourth Core Manual
April 21, 2010
CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA – The Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association’s (APRA)
President, Bill Gager, announced today the release of APRA’s Fourth Core Manual
providing an update on all aspects of cores.
This recent publication is the result of industry meetings addressing cores, and
is the fourth in an on-going series. Previous industry core events took place in
1983, 1985 and 1989. This fourth core manual is the published result of the last
core seminar that took place in 2008 during the APRA International BIG R Show in
Las Vegas.
“The recent meeting discussed part number proliferation, foreign/domestic mix,
heavy duty vs. passenger car parts, shorter core cycles, changing distribution
channels, new forms of competition, electronic and mechatronic parts and
stagnant market segments,” stated Gager.
“Our industry cannot be in business without cores, so it behooves us to at least
make time to get a renewed sense of the state of the core market,” added Gager.
Copies of the Core Manual are available for $95 to APRA members and $180 to
non-members. To request information on how to order your copy, please call
703-968-2772, ext. 103 or email
