EVANSVILLE, Indiana – April 21, 2020 – Accuride Corporation – a supplier of components to the North American and European commercial vehicle industries – today announced that its four North American wheel-production facilities have received the PACCAR 10 PPM Quality Award. Accuride’s steel wheel plants in London, Ont., and Henderson, Ky., Accuride’s aluminum wheel plant located in Erie, Pa., and Accuride’s steel and aluminum wheel plant in Monterrey, Mexico, received the award for their performance in 2019. This is the third time Accuride plants have received the award.
