Federal-Mogul Motorparts was awarded Mexico’s most prestigious manufacturing award, the National Quality Award.
Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto presented the honor to Federal-Mogul in recognition for its “world-class quality systems, global competitiveness and customer-focused success of its expansive automotive friction facility in Tepotzotlán, Mexico,” the company said in a press release.
Federal-Mogul built the 150,695-square-foot facility in 2001, where it produces Wagner brand replacement brake pads and related products for original equipment customers.
“We are honored to receive the Mexico National Quality Award which reflects the hard work and dedication of our employees in Tepotzotlán,” said Martin Hendricks, president of Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “Their commitment to quality, innovation and service enables them to consistently meet and exceed the exacting standards of the most demanding OE customers in the braking industry. At the same time, their efforts have helped make Wagner a leading automotive brand in vehicle service facilities throughout North America and around the world.”
