Italian term

revamp

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Use of English in Italian sentence
"XXX dispone di un’unità dedicata al revamping completo di macchine."

As always when I find an English word used in an Italian document, I cringe.
What's your opinions about changing this to "reconditioning", "overhauling", "retrofitting" (if it fits), or other?
Proposed translations (English)
4 overhaul
3 renovation/modernization

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for confirming my suspects so quickly Tom - the customer has such total buy-in to "revamp" in their Italian version I can't get them to change! They even have a "Revamping Division". Serious shivers down my spine!"

Thanks! Your contributions are also valid. I used them throughout the text - yet another time where the possibility of splitting points would be nice!
