Toyota recognises Schaeffler for quality of supply

News

Toyota has granted an Achievement Award in the ‘Supply’ category to The Schaeffler Group. The award recognises the quality of products and services supplied by Schaeffler.

At Toyota’s ‘Annual Business Meeting 2009’ held in Brussels last month, Schaeffler was one of only four suppliers to receive the ‘Achievement Award’ in recognition of supplier performance. “It is a fantastic success indeed to win this kind of recognition from a company that is well-known for being a particularly discerning customer,” said Dr. Peter Pleus, President Schaeffler Engine Systems Division.

A technical example of a Schaeffler product supplied to Toyota was on display at the awards ceremony. This hydraulic lash adjuster was developed by Schaeffler for engine valve trains. Ensuring automatic valve lash adjustment, this component is used in Toyota’s new ZR engine, a four-cylinder, 1.6 or 1.8 litre petrol engine installed in the Toyota Auris and Avensis models.
