SPRINGFIELD, Tenn. – Fleetline Products, a brand of Fontaine Spray Suppression Co., has earned PACCAR’s top quality award for the second consecutive year.
PACCAR Inc. has presented Fleetline with its 50 PPM award for 2010. Receiving this award places Fleetline in an elite group: only suppliers that have met the highest level of quality and warranty performance for a full calendar year are eligible.
To win the 50 PPM Award, a supplier has to achieve an approval rate equal to or better than 99.995 percent. Fleetline’s award is based on the spray suppression system parts it supplies to PACCAR for heavy duty Class 8 trucks assembled across all of the OEM’s North American facilities, as well as warranty claims on trucks already in service.
Fontaine Spray Suppression Co. supplies a complete line of durable spray suppression systems to the North American highway transportation industry. Products include tandem fenders, quarter fenders, light bars and mud flap brackets sold under the brands Fleetline, Nu-Line and Hogebuilt. Fontaine Spray Suppression Company is part of the Commercial Truck Group of Marmon Highway Technologies, a Berkshire Hathaway company.
“We were honored with the recognition from PACCAR last year, and to claim this award again demonstrates the commitment that our sourcing, manufacturing and shipping personnel have to our customers,” said Doug Henson, president of Fontaine Spray Suppression Co. “We regularly discuss quality improvements with our employees, and recognition from our customers is the best validation of the quality message we try to teach and practice.”
Gerald Harrison, Fontaine Spray Suppression’s director of manufacturing stated, “We are dedicated to continuously improving our quality systems. This award provides our team with great encouragement to keep researching new opportunities for improvement. We will do our best to continue this winning streak into the future.”
