VEGE Remanufactured Engines – Quality You Can Trust

Over 80 Years of Remanufacturing Excellence

VEGE has been at the forefront of the automotive aftermarket industry since 1936 . VEGE is one of the world’s largest independent aftermarket suppliers of remanufactured petrol and diesel engines . With over 80 years of experience, VEGE supplies remanufactured products with a level of quality that equals that of new OEM products at competitive prices .

VEGE was founded by Mr. Wim Versteeg in 1936, originally a small garage business in Spijkenisse, The Netherlands .

The VEGE exchange system was born, establishing one of the oldest recycling operations in the automotive industry .
