Quality assured service
An important aspect of our offering is providing a quality-assured service, this is a prerequisite for the majority of our customers.

We have developed two patented processes to remanufacture diesel particulate filters (DPF) and restore them to at least 95% of their original capacity. One patented process concerns passenger cars and the other one is for one for heavier vehicles such as trucks and working machinery.
Our vision at UBD Cleantech
By offering high-tech remanufacturing solutions, process-assured quality and and cost-effective production with minimal environmental impact, UBD Cleantech will become Europe's leading remanufacturer of vital vehicle components in selected areas.
A part of Autocirc
In 2022 UBD Cleantech became a part of Autocirc - a leading European group of companies specialising in establishing and developing a circular auto parts industry.
Clearing the way for sustainability
By bringing individual automotive industry operators together, Autocirc creates a platform for a circular business model in which we optimise and repurpose used auto parts.
The aim is that more auto parts are reintroduced to the market again instead of being scrapped. Remanufacturing plays a significant role for a sustainable future - it reduces both waste and the need to produce new parts.
Autocirc today has 65 companies and over 1100 employees in the whole of Europe.
A strong owner - Autocirc is owned by investment company Nordic Capital.
