Maintal, Germany, 13 August, 2013
NORMA Group, an international market and technology leader for engineered joining technology, has earned US-American Paccar Inc.’s (“Paccar”) quality certification for a second consecutive year. The 50 PPM award is presented to an elite group of suppliers who have achieved a defect rate of 50 parts per million (PPM) or less during 2012.
Paccar evaluates its suppliers’ services on a rolling six-month performance basis. Paccar’s award criteria also include warranty claims, the production parts approval process (PPAP), and on-time delivery. Suppliers must maintain a quality system in compliance with QS-9000, ISO/TS 16949 or ISO 9001 for 2008 and pass Paccar’s supplier readiness review.
"The PACCAR 50 PPM award is a great distinction for NORMA Group. It reflects the dedication of all NORMA personnel to deliver the highest quality product solutions, and also our commitment to always meet and exceed customer expectations," says Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group.
NORMA Group has been supplying standard and quick release NORMACONNECT V profile clamps to Paccar’s DAF trucks since 2006.
