Simrit Division of Freudenberg-NOK Earns Emerson Climate Technologies Quality Award

PLYMOUTH, Mich., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of its outstanding performance in delivery, quality and customer support, Simrit's Troy, Ohio facility was recently awarded Emerson Climate Technologies' Quality Award for excellence as demonstrated by a zero ppm (parts per million) defect rate during 2009. The Troy facility manufactures thermoplastic seals and bearings, and supplies sealing elements for floating seal assemblies within scroll compressors to Emerson Climate Technologies.

"It's a great honor to be recognized by Emerson Climate Technologies for our dedication to providing superior products and services," said Raymond Gillies, product marketing manager, Simrit. "At Simrit, we strive to offer exceptional customer service, as well as quality products that fit our customers' needs and long-term goals."

Simrit's collaboration with Emerson Climate Technologies began more than 20 years ago. In 1987, the two companies jointly developed a new sealing technology that went into production in 1988. Simrit supplies scroll compressors parts to Emerson Climate Technologies that require consistent quality with minimal material variance. Due to the critical nature of these parts, all sealing and material developments go through rigorous testing before qualification.

"The quality award recognizes the Troy facility for its accomplishments in 2009 and for its business excellence. We wish all of our suppliers were at the level Simrit has attained and thank Simrit for the quality it has delivered to Emerson Climate Technologies over the years," said Dave Proffitt, vice president of global sourcing, Emerson Climate Technologies. "Our strong business relationship creates win-win opportunities for both Emerson Climate Technologies and Simrit."
