Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW), a leading supplier of
components to the commercial vehicle industry, today announced that
its Henderson, Ky. and Accuride de Mexico Monterrey facilities have
received Daimler Trucks North America’s (DTNA) Masters of Quality
Supplier Award for 2010. This is the eighth year that Accuride’s
Henderson facility has been recognized with the award, and the
first year for the Monterrey facility.
The 24-year-old program recognizes the “best of the best” among
DTNA suppliers by honoring those companies that meet or exceed
DTNA’s stringent quality standards and demonstrate an ongoing
commitment to improving the quality of its products. Facilities are
graded on four criteria: quality; cost; technology; and supply / on
time delivery.
“The Masters of Quality award is the highest recognition that
DTNA gives to its suppliers and, as such, we are honored to be
recognized year after year,” said Scott Hazlett, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Accuride Wheels. “This honor could
not have been accomplished without the dedication and commitment to
excellence of our Henderson and Monterrey associates.”
Accuride’s 306,000 square-foot Henderson plant, which serves all
of DTNA’s facilities, produces steel wheels for the Freightliner,
Western Star, Thomas Built Buses and Freightliner Custom Chassis
Corp. brands. Accuride de Mexico’s 226,000 square-foot facility in
Monterrey produces steel wheels for DTNA’s Freightliner and Thomas
Built Buses brands. It primarily serves DTNA’s Saltillo and
Santiago, Mexico, facilities.
This year’s recognition underscores Accuride’s continued
commitment to building dependable, quality products, as evidenced
by Daimler AG’s recognition of Accuride in March 2011 as its top
global Truck and Bus Chassis supplier during the company’s Daimler
Supplier Awards 2010. Additionally, Accuride’s Gunite® brand, the
largest producer of wheel-end components in North America, is a
past recipient of the DTNA Masters of Quality Award.
