MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), a leading worldwide manufacturer of
filtration systems and parts, has announced that four of the company’s
plants have received the 2016 Master of Quality Award from Daimler
Trucks North America (DTNA). The Masters of Quality award is the highest
recognition that DTNA gives to its suppliers.
All four Donaldson manufacturing plants have received the honor for
three or more consecutive years:
-
Frankfort, Indiana, facility – five years
-
Greeneville, Tennessee, facility – four years
-
Cresco, Iowa, facility – four years
-
Aguascalientes, Mexico, facility – three years
“There are thousands of parts on a Daimler truck and Donaldson is just
one of approximately 1,000 suppliers,” said Rich Lewis, vice president
of global operations at Donaldson. “We are proud of our plant employees
who help us provide parts that consistently meet the highest standards
set by Daimler Trucks North America.”
DTNA’s annual program, in its 30th year, recognizes
outstanding suppliers that have received high scores on their quality,
delivery, technology and cost performance. This year, only 48 awards
were distributed compared to 64 awards in 2015.
“Daimler Trucks North America tightened the criteria this year, making
it even tougher to qualify as a Master of Quality provider,” says Graham
Young, of DTNA’s supplier management division. “Donaldson has been a
trusted and valued partner for us for many years. The innovation,
quality and on-time delivery throughout their organization enables us to
provide our customers with great products at a significant value.”
Donaldson has been an active partner with DTNA for almost a decade and
has been a key supplier to Daimler brands since the 1950s, providing OE
parts service and dealer resources. The company is also a first-fit
partner that supplies Daimler globally, by meeting its strict criteria
for quality, lead-time, delivery, continued supply and sustainability.
