A new route for selected replacement equipment
Siemens announced a partnership with German B2B marketplace Sparepartsnow on September 9, 2026, adding a sales channel for automation equipment refurbished by its original manufacturer. The initial offer covers selected drives, controllers and HMI panels in Europe. Siemens plans to broaden the range and regional coverage, but the announcement provides no expansion timetable.
According to Siemens, refurbishment includes technical repairs, necessary hardware and software updates, cosmetic restoration where needed, and quality testing. Devices retain their original functions and performance characteristics. The company says applicable safety, conformity and cybersecurity requirements remain those associated with the product's original placement on the market. This distinction matters when assessing an older device against the requirements of a current project.

Check the terms for the specific component
Sparepartsnow's partnership page separately confirms that the selected equipment is refurbished by Siemens. It states a minimum warranty of 12 months and says the warranty period for the chosen item is displayed in the shopping cart. Its enquiry process also allows buyers to request an availability check for a product that is not listed.

LANGOM perspective
For maintenance and integration teams, this development makes the replacement specification especially important. Start with the complete order number and installed hardware revision, then document firmware, communications interfaces and the machine configuration. Treat refurbishment status, functional compatibility and suitability for the intended application as separate questions during the technical review.
A procurement enquiry should identify the failed component, required quantity, intended destination and replacement deadline. Include photographs of the identification label and any restrictions on firmware or configuration changes. For a planned shutdown, request the relevant test documentation and agree how the replacement will be accepted before scheduling installation. These details help turn a broad product search into a precise comparison of suitable options.
