Remanufactured cubicles are the clear choice for companies concerned with quality, service, and cost. The remanufacturing process strips down the cubicle system to its core structure and adds to that new fabric, new countertops, electrical,l, and base panels. And, remanufactured cubicle systems are required to meet OEM quality standards.
