Five ArvinMeritor manufacturing facilities have received Paccar Inc.’s 2009 Quality Achievement Award, considered one of the industry’s most demanding standards for supplier parts and component quality.
The award recognizes suppliers with a defect rate of 50 parts per million or better during 2009, said ArvinMeritor, which supplies axles, braking systems, and other drivetrain components for Paccar’s Kenworth, Peterbilt, and DAF trucks.
The five ArvinMeritor facilities to achieve Paccar’s “50 PPM” standard were Forest City, N.C.; Franklin, Ky.; Cienega de Flores, Mexico; Escobedo, Mexico; and Lindesberg, Sweden.
