Each year, PACCAR—a global leader in the design and manufacture of premium commercial vehicles—recognizes suppliers who go above and beyond in meeting their stringent quality requirements. The PACCAR 10 PPM Award further solidifies ConMet’s position as a trusted partner in the industry.

To qualify for this esteemed award, suppliers must surpass PACCAR’s 10 ppm quality standard, meaning they ship no more than 10 defective parts per million components. Additionally, they must meet demanding criteria for customer support and continuous improvement. ConMet’s focus in these areas sets them apart as a leader in their field.

For 2023, ConMet earned the 10 PPM Award for all six of their plants that supply components to PACCAR: Canton, North Carolina; Monroe, North Carolina; Chillicothe, Ohio; Clackamas, Oregon; Denton, Texas; and Monterrey, Mexico. By consistently delivering high-quality components, ConMet helps ensure the reliability and performance of PACCAR’s commercial vehicles, benefiting both the industry and end customers.

“We are grateful to PACCAR for recognizing ConMet’s commitment to the highest quality standards,” said Ramesh Ramanathan, Chief Operations Officer of ConMet North American Operations. “This recognition encourages us to continue improving our manufacturing processes to ensure we remain a top-tier supplier.”

PACCAR’s recognition of ConMet reflects the company’s adherence to exceptional manufacturing practices. This achievement not only highlights ConMet’s capabilities but also reassures customers that they can rely on ConMet’s products for their commercial vehicle needs.
