Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW) – a leading supplier of
components to the North American commercial vehicle industry –
today announced that two of its wheel production facilities have
received the “Masters of Quality” Supplier Award from Daimler
Trucks North America for their performance in 2014. Accuride’s
Henderson steel wheel plant in Henderson, Ky., and the Accuride de
Mexico steel and aluminum wheel plant in Monterrey, Mexico, both
received the award for their 2014 performance. This is the 11th
such award for the Henderson plant and the fourth award for
Accuride de Mexico. Representatives of Accuride Henderson
Operations will receive their award at DTNA’s Supplier Day in
Indianapolis, Ind., on September 29th, while Accuride de Mexico
received its award previously.
The annual program, now in its 28th year, recognizes outstanding
suppliers that have received high scores on their quality,
delivery, technology and cost performance as measured on a Balanced
Scorecard. These suppliers demonstrate an on-going commitment to
continuously improving the quality of their products and overall
performance of their businesses.
“Accuride is honored by our plants’ continued performance as
Masters of Quality facilities by Daimler Trucks North America for
dedicated service to its assembly operations,” said Rick Dauch,
Accuride President and CEO. “Our Henderson and Monterrey associates
deeply appreciate Daimler’s recognition of their consistent
performance on the metrics that matter to DTNA, and their efforts
to help the company meet its business goals. Accuride’s dedication
to delivering world-class operating performance on quality,
delivery, lead times and other key metrics is supported by our
consistent lean manufacturing and quality systems that drive
continuous improvement across our operations.”
Accuride’s Henderson Operations provides steel wheels to all
DTNA U.S. plants for Freightliner applications. The Accuride de
Mexico steel and aluminum wheel facility in Monterrey supplies
steel wheels to DTNA’s Saltillo and Santiago, Mexico, facilities,
and the Daimler bus plant in Monterrey.
These plants’ recognition underscores Accuride’s extended
relationship with DTNA as a dependable supplier of high-quality
steel and aluminum wheels and wheel-end components. Accuride’s
Rockford Gunite facility, a leading North American supplier of
brake drums, hubs, rotors, automatic slack adjusters and other
wheel-end components, also is a past Masters of Quality recipient.
In addition, Accuride Henderson Operations earned the 2014 AME
Excellence Award for its quality and lean systems from the
Association for Manufacturing Excellence, while Accuride’s Erie and
Rockford operations recently received the award for 2015.
