ConMet, a leading manufacturer of components for the commercial vehicle industry, has earned the prestigious PACCAR 10 PPM Award at multiple manufacturing facilities for the seventh consecutive year. This recognition underscores ConMet's unwavering commitment to delivering top-quality products and exceeding industry standards.
PACCAR is a global technology leader in the design, manufacture, and customer support of high-quality light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt, and DAF nameplates. PACCAR vehicles combine state-of-the-art diesel and zero-emissions powertrains with comprehensive PACCAR charging solutions and infrastructure support.
Each year, PACCAR, also a global leader in the design and manufacture of premium commercial vehicles, recognizes suppliers who go above and beyond in meeting their stringent quality requirements.
Receiving the PACCAR 10 PPM Award further solidifies ConMet's position as a trusted partner in the industry.
To qualify for this esteemed award, suppliers must surpass PACCAR's 10 ppm quality standard, which means shipping no more than 10 defective parts per million components. Additionally, they must meet demanding criteria for customer support and continuous improvement. ConMet's focus in these areas sets them apart as leaders in their field.
For 2023, ConMet earned the 10 PPM Award for all six of their plants that supply components to PACCAR: Canton, North Carolina; Monroe, North Carolina; Chillicothe, Ohio; Clackamas, Oregon; Denton, Texas; and Monterrey, Mexico. By consistently delivering high-quality components, ConMet helps ensure the reliability and performance of PACCAR's commercial vehicles, benefiting both the industry and end customers.
“We are grateful to PACCAR for recognizing ConMet’s commitment to the highest quality standards,” said Ramesh Ramanathan, Chief Operations Officer of ConMet North American Operations. “This recognition encourages us to continue improving our manufacturing processes to ensure we remain a top-tier supplier.”
PACCAR's recognition of ConMet reflects the company's adherence to exceptional manufacturing practices. This achievement not only highlights the company’s capabilities but also reassures customers that they can rely on the products for their commercial vehicle needs.
