Daimler Trucks North America recognized Hadley with the Masters of Quality award for 2013, the highest recognition the company gives to its suppliers. Daimler presented the award during a ceremony at Hadley’s headquarters in Grandville, Mich.
Hadley supplies air horns, mechanical and electronic height control valves and mirror systems to Freightliner, a Daimler Truck brand. This is the second year in a row the company has received the award.
“It is a privilege to be recognized by the world’s largest truck manufacturer with this prestigious award,” said Bob Dubsky, president of Hadley. “We are extremely proud to earn this honor.”
The Masters of Quality award recognizes suppliers that meet or exceed Daimler’s quality standards and breaks down a company’s performance into scores for quality, delivery, technology and cost performance.
“The entire Hadley team works hard daily to meet Daimler’s rigorous requirements,” said Dubsky. “Receiving the Masters of Quality award two consecutive years confirms to us that we are all continuing to excel at our goal to produce high quality products for Daimler and their end-customers.”
