Worthington Industries Earns Recognition as a John Deere “Partner-level Supplier” and 10-Year Hall of Fame Supplier
22 März 2022 - 1:30PM
Worthington Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WOR) today announced it has
earned recognition as a Partner-level supplier for 2021 and was
inducted into the 10-year Supplier Hall of Fame in the John Deere
Achieving Excellence Program. Hall of Fame status is given after a
supplier attains a Partner-level rating for five consecutive years,
and this marks Worthington’s second back-to-back appearance in this
category. The Partner-level status is Deere & Company’s highest
supplier rating. Worthington was selected for this honor in
recognition of its dedication to providing products and service of
outstanding quality as well as its commitment to continuous
improvement.
“To be inducted into John Deere’s 10-year Supplier Hall of Fame,
this year in particular, is a milestone worthy of celebration,”
said Worthington Industries Steel Processing President Jeff
Klingler. “Considering 2021 spanned one of the tightest steel
markets in recent history, it truly demonstrates our team’s
commitment to continually innovating and finding creative solutions
to meet our customers’ needs, no matter the challenge.” Klingler
added, “We’re proud of our long-standing partnership with John
Deere and the role we play in supporting their work to positively
shape the spaces that sustain us.”
Employees from Worthington’s dedicated John Deere account team
accepted the recognition during virtual ceremonies held earlier
this year. Worthington was one of five 10-year Hall of Fame
recipients recognized during the event.
Worthington Industries is a supplier of hot-rolled and
cold-rolled cut-to-length steel sheets to John Deere Harvester
Works in East Moline, Ill., John Deere Horicon Works in Horicon,
Wis. and John Deere Ottumwa Works in Ottumwa, Iowa, for the
fabrication and assembly of combine harvesters, hay and forage
equipment, lawn & garden equipment and utility vehicles.
Suppliers who participate in the Achieving Excellence Program
are evaluated annually in several key performance categories,
including quality, cost management, delivery, technical support and
wavelength, which is a measure of responsiveness. John Deere Supply
Management created the program in 1991 to provide a supplier
evaluation and feedback process that promotes continuous
improvement.
