Newcomb Spring Corp has been awarded a Siemens Supplier Excellence Award for 2017. Newcomb received top honors among more than 200 suppliers for consistently superior performance in four critical areas: logistics, quality, commercial performance, and technology performance. Some of the more specific criteria included compliance to specifications, defect rate, purchase order accuracy, and on time delivery.

According to Keith Porter Jr., General Manager of Newcomb Spring’s Gastonia, North Carolina facility, “Siemens is a valued, highly integrated customer that holds its suppliers to strict specifications, with tight tolerances and high quality standards.”

As a leading supplier of springs and metal forms, Newcomb Spring delivered tens of millions of springs to Siemens without a single nonconformance. Newcomb received the Supplier Excellence Award in March of this year at Siemens’ Fabrica Monterrey supplier convention in Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

According to the Siemens supplier quality team, open communication and a high level of collaboration have characterized the relationship with Newcomb Spring. Siemens relates that delivery of top quality products, on time, is one of the attributes that make Newcomb Spring a reliable manufacturing partner.

“Receiving a Siemens Supplier Excellence Award is a significant accomplishment for all the employees at Newcomb Spring,” explains Keith Porter Jr. “Our partnership with Siemens goes back over 35 years, and this award exemplifies our commitment to high-quality precision manufacturing and customer service, as well as dedication to the mutual success of both companies.”
