“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.”
The companies also said they plan to coordinate deployment planning across priority freight corridors and define routes and operational design domains for U.S. commercial service while laying the groundwork for expansion into key European markets.
