US axle and suspension specialist Meritor has earned its fourth consecutive 'Quality Achievement Award' from commercial vehicle giant Paccar. The award recognises suppliers that have achieved a defect rate of 50 parts per million (PPM) or less during 2012.
Four Meritor manufacturing facilities received Paccar's 2012 Quality Achievement Award – Forest City, NC; Cienega, Mexico; Frankfort, Ky; and Sisamex, the company’s joint venture with Quimmco in Monterrey, Mexico.
“Earning this award for several years at multiple manufacturing sites underscores our commitment to providing customers with the highest-quality components in the industry,” said Wayne Watson, general manager, Commercial Vehicle Systems Operations, North America, Meritor.
