MINNEAPOLIS, April 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Donaldson
Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), a leading worldwide manufacturer of
filtration systems and parts, has been named "Diamond Supplier" for
the second year in a row by Navistar International Corporation.
Navistar, a leading manufacturer of commercial trucks, buses,
defense vehicles and engines, reserves the distinction for only the
top 2 percent of the company's supply partners.
"We are extremely proud to be a Navistar Diamond Supplier," says
Todd Lewis, Donaldson's director of Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM) on-road sales. "Donaldson has always embraced a philosophy of
innovation with collaboration, and this award is the result of that
powerful combination. It begins with our team listening carefully
to our OE partners' challenges. Then we work together to develop
customized solutions that meet increasing filtration performance
specifications while fitting into a continually shrinking
under-hood space."
Navistar, which has strict requirements for all of its
suppliers, has additional qualifications for its upper-echelon
Diamond Suppliers. To be considered, suppliers must have
demonstrated the ability to improve Navistar customer uptime and
exceed the company's performance expectations for quality,
delivery, technology and cost.
When awarding Donaldson this
year's Diamond Supplier distinction, Navistar specifically
highlighted Donaldson's design of
customized air filtration systems for its new LT truck platform and
other upcoming products.
"Donaldson's team worked
hand-in-hand with the Navistar Parts team to develop an innovative
aftermarket strategy," says Wayne
Rygel, Navistar procurement director. "Their collaborative
work style, state-of-the-art designs and high-quality products for
the project helped support a flawless launch."
The two companies share a significant and successful history:
Donaldson has actively partnered
with Navistar in North America for
more than 15 years, but the relationship can be traced back
to 1936 when Donaldson
developed air intake systems for International Trucks,
Navistar's flagship vehicle brand.
