Accuride wheel production facilities recognized by PACCAR

Accuride Corp.’s four North American wheel-production facilities have received the PACCAR 10 PPM quality award.

Accuride’s steel wheel plants in London, Ont., and Henderson, Ky., Accuride’s aluminum wheel plant located in Erie, Pa., and Accuride’s steel and aluminum wheel plant in Monterrey, Mexico, received the award for their performance in 2019. This is the third time Accuride plants have received the award.

The annual program recognizes suppliers who exceed PACCAR’s “10 ppm” quality standard or the equivalent of 10 defective parts for every million components shipped to PACCAR. To qualify, suppliers must also meet demanding criteria for warranty support and continuous improvement.
