The Importance of AC Compressors & Condensers in Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems

It begins in workshops, where compressors — once discarded, worn, and written off — found their second life. Reclaimed from a vehicle, the parts are transported to Valeo’s state-of-the-art remanufacturing facilities. There, compressors are given not just a new purpose, but a new identity: one that embodies the future of responsible automotive service.
This isn’t just a story about compressors. It’s a story about rethinking value, about engineering trust, and about how a global shift in mindset is reshaping the aftermarket industry—part by remanufactured part.
