The PACCAR SPM Award celebrates the outstanding performance of suppliers who deliver superior products and services. ConMet has consistently surpassed PACCAR’s rigorous standards, cementing its reputation as a leader in the industry.

One of ConMet’s significant contributions to PACCAR’s success is the integration of state-of-the-art PreSet® and PreSet Plus® hub assemblies.

These high-quality products are designed to enhance the performance, efficiency, and durability of PACCAR’s commercial vehicles.

“The commitment of suppliers is critical to our success. We greatly appreciate these suppliers’ efforts and achievements in the SPM Program,” said Darrin Siver, PACCAR executive vice president.

ConMet attributes much of its success as an OEM provider to its stringent design, validation, manufacturing, and packaging processes. The company collaborates closely with PACCAR and other OEM partners to ensure continuous innovation, improvement, and cost performance. ConMet’s strategically located facilities simplify logistics and ensure just-in-time delivery to meet manufacturing needs efficiently.

“We are honored to receive the SPM award once again for all three divisions,” said Ramesh Ramanathan, Chief Operations Officer of ConMet North American Operations. “Our partnership with PACCAR is invaluable, and we’re proud to meet and exceed their rigorous quality standards to help deliver a top-quality product.”
