ConMet is excited to announce that three of its facilities have once again been awarded the Daimler Trucks North America 2021 Masters of Quality Supplier award. As the industry’s leading global manufacturer of wheel hubs, structural plastic, and aluminum casting components for the commercial vehicle industry, ConMet is honored to be recognized as one of the top suppliers to Freightliner and Western Star trucks.
