Posted by: meikah | 17 June 2008 | 12:57 am
Lydall Inc. recently received the coveted Volkswagen Group Award for 2008. The company is 1 of 15 international suppliers to receive such disctinction.
The award recognizes innovative strength and value-added development, and Lydall has the distinction of being the only USA-based company to be honored with this award.
And this is what Dale G. Barnhart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lydall, Inc., has to say about the award:
“Volkswagen Group works with approximately 26,000 suppliers worldwide. To have been selected as a top supplier is very gratifying and reinforces our commitment to quality and creative solutions. Earning this prestigious award is a result of the dedication of Lydall’s European automotive associates, in particular our Meinerzhagen operation, and the benefits of our lean six sigma programs. Use of lean six sigma tools enables the Meinerzhagen operation to maintain operational excellence and to produce unique solutions exceeding Volkswagen’s demands.”
This should make naysayers think again about the value of lean Six Sigma in an organization.
