Graepel rises to "Leader" as a supplier to DAF
Graepel, leading manufacturer of high-quality sheet metal products, has been honored by DAF with the Supplier Performance Award (SPA) in the "Leader" category. The award was presented at a two-day ceremony by Jos Smetsers, DAF's Chief Procurement Officer.
Graepel has now been recognized for its outstanding achievements as part of DAF's Supplier Performance Award. In the past, the globally represented family business from the Oldenburger Münsterland had already received the award for Achiever twice and has now been promoted to the second highest category with the award for Leader. DAF Trucks is one of the leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles in Europe and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paccar, one of the largest truck manufacturers in the world. Its "Supplier Performance Management" (SPM) program evaluates the company's largest suppliers according to strict criteria, including delivery performance, savings and customer focus. The evaluation takes place in three levels: Achiever, Leader and Master.
"We are very proud of this award and the associated recognition of our achievements," says Carlo Graepel, CEO at Graepel. "We have been supplying DAF with our components and assemblies for their commercial vehicles for decades. During this time, we have proven ourselves to be a reliable and innovative partner. The Supplier Award as Leader is proof of this and underlines our ongoing commitment to quality, innovation and reliability." Being named a Leader in DAF's SPM program is a significant recognition of Graepel's achievements and underlines the strong partnership between the two companies. With world-leading products and services and continuous improvement, Graepel is working to consolidate its position as DAF's leading supplier and reach the highest level.
