Enhanced listings now come complete with a company description, direct email and website links, including social networking sites, white papers, product catalog and the ability to add specific products and brands.

APRA President Bill Gager stated, “We are very pleased with the results of the first year of operation and look forward to an even bigger second year. These marketplace communities take time to develop, but the Remanufacturing Marketplace has seen tremendous growth and acceptance.”

Some key statistics taken in June 2010 and November 2010 show some dramatic increases in viewership. Total monthly visits increased 76% and monthly page views increased by 125%. The average number of pages viewed per visit increased by 20%, and total unique visitors per month increased by 63%.

The Marketplace includes basic and advanced search capabilities which continue to make the search process convenient and time-efficient. In addition, the Marketplace offers the option to highlight specific products in the Product Showcase, which rotates throughout the site ensuring the advertiser's message gets in front of their target audience.

“If you are not a participant in the Remanufacturing Marketplace, we encourage you to join today and experience new business development opportunities,” added Bill Gager.

Whether users are looking for component parts, testing equipment, cleaning equipment or cores, the Marketplace offers an easy way to quickly find the right suppliers.
