PACCAR has recognized ConMet with three 2021 Supplier Performance Management awards across multiple business units.

ConMet’s Castings Division was one of only two PACCAR suppliers to reach SPM Masters status, PACCAR’s highest supplier performance award.  Additionally, ConMet Wheel Ends and ConMet Plastics received 2021 SPM Achievers awards.  PACCAR suppliers are evaluated in the areas of product development, operations and aftermarket support, and alignment with PACCAR’s key business objectives.

“PACCAR is pleased to recognize and congratulate our suppliers who earned a SPM award for 2021, especially given the extraordinary supply challenges. Supplier commitment to SPM creates strong relationships with PACCAR, its customers and its dealers,” said Ron Augustyn, PACCAR vice president of global purchasing.

“PACCAR is a key ConMet customer and business partner. We understand the importance of meeting and exceeding their stringent performance requirements to maintain this excellent relationship,” commented Ramesh Ramanathan, ConMet’s Chief Operations Officer of North American Operations. “Being recognized by PACCAR annually with their SPM Awards is an honor, an excellent motivation and reward for the hard work and dedication of everyone at ConMet. We have been a supplier to PACCAR for more than 30 years and will do what is necessary to continue to meet and exceed their expectations.”
