Elgin Industries has been recognized as one of the premier suppliers to JASPER Engines & Transmissions, one of North America’s largest remanufacturers of gasoline and diesel powertrain and drivetrain components. This is the 14th consecutive year JASPER has recognized Elgin. Elgin manufactures a wide range of valvetrain components for JASPER, including push rods, rocker arms, lifters and valve springs, with a majority of these parts designed and manufactured in Elgin, Illinois.
Elgin President Bill Skok and National Marketing and Sales Director Rick Simko accepted JASPER’s “ELMO” trophy as one of the company’s “Partners in Success” during a recent ceremony in Jasper, Indiana. Elgin was recognized for excellence in the “Service” category based on several criteria, including supplier scorecard results, a “can do” attitude, sense of urgency, timely responses, problem resolution and technical expertise.
“JASPER, like all world-class organizations, carefully measures every area of supplier performance to ensure exceptional operational efficiency, product quality and customer service. We are very proud to once again rank among their most effective and valued business partners,” Skok said.
In addition to serving JASPER and other leading aftermarket businesses, Elgin Industries is a Tier One supplier of original equipment engine and chassis components to organizations such as Chrysler, Deere & Co., Ford, General Motors, Harley-Davidson, Mack and Navistar.
The company has earned dozens of quality awards and has received its certificates of registration to the ISO/TS 16949:2009 Quality Management System and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System. It also has achieved Ford Q1 Quality Certification.
