Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: AMS
Book flights into Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) for the shortest transfer to RAI Amsterdam, with direct NS train connections to Amsterdam RAI station.

Check passport validity and any Schengen visa requirement before purchasing.
Visa
The Netherlands is in the Schengen area. Whether you need a short-stay Schengen visa depends on your nationality: many nationalities can travel visa-free for business visits, while others must apply for a short-stay visa before arrival. Check the official Dutch government and IND guidance for your situation.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
For business visits the Dutch government (business.gov.nl) and IND publish the permit and visa rules; applicants submit a Schengen visa business checklist (including proof of purpose, accommodation and travel medical insurance) at the relevant Dutch mission or visa application centre. Confirm the current document list and appointment lead time on the official sites before booking travel.

Glossary
- Remanufacturing
- An industrial process that returns a used product or component to at-least-original-equivalent condition, usually backed by a warranty. It is distinct from repair (restores function) and recycling (recovers material).
- Core
- The used part, assembly or unit collected from the field that becomes the raw material for the remanufacturing process. Core condition and availability directly drive reman economics, which is a central theme at ReMaTec.
- Core deposit / core charge
- A refundable surcharge added to the price of a replacement part and credited back when the removed unit is returned as a core.
- Core return rate
- The share of sold units for which a serviceable core is recovered. It is a key profitability and supply metric for remanufacturers and their distributors.
- Reverse logistics
- The collection, sorting, storage and transport network that moves cores from workshops, dealers and end users back to remanufacturing plants and core banks.
- Exchange part
- A replacement component sold on the condition that the removed unit is handed back, keeping the core in the remanufacturing loop.
- OES / OEM reman
- Parts remanufactured to original-equipment specification, whether produced by the vehicle or machine manufacturer or by an approved remanufacturing partner.
- Cleaning and surface preparation
- Industrial washing, blasting, deburring and surface-treatment steps that prepare a core for inspection, re-machining and reassembly.
- Testing and validation
- Bench testing, end-of-line performance checks and quality control that verify a remanufactured unit meets original specification before it ships.
- Circular economy
- An economic model that keeps materials and components in productive use for as long as possible. Remanufacturing is one of its core industrial strategies.
- Battery remanufacturing
- Diagnosis, module replacement and pack rebuild of hybrid and electric vehicle battery packs to extend service life and recover value from returned packs.
- Component restoration
- Engineering techniques used to bring worn parts back to specification, including welding, precision machining, coating and metal additive repair.
