Meritor WABCO has received the 2015 Masters of Quality Supplier Award from Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA).

The award recognizes outstanding suppliers that have received high scores on their quality, delivery, technology and cost performance as measured on a balanced scorecard basis. The honored suppliers represent the top-quality providers of components and services for DTNA’s Freightliner and Western Star truck brands.

Two of Meritor WABCO’s production facilities received the award: Hebron, Kentucky, United States, and Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

The Masters of Quality Award, now in its 29th year, is given to an elite group of suppliers that meet rigorous standards and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to continuously improving the quality of their products, support to DTNA and overall performance of their businesses. Meritor WABCO is a preferred standard equipment supplier to DTNA, providing a complete range of safety and efficiency products for commercial vehicles.

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
