Worthington Industries inducted into John Deere 10-year Supplier Hall of Fame

Worthington Industries Inc., Columbus, Ohio, has earned recognition as a Partner-level supplier for 2021 and was inducted into the 10-year Supplier Hall of Fame in the John Deere Achieving Excellence Program. Hall of Fame status is given after a supplier attains a Partner-level rating for five consecutive years, and this marks Worthington’s second back-to-back appearance in this category.

The company supplies hot-rolled and cold-rolled cut-to-length steel sheets to John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline, Ill.; John Deere Horicon Works in Horicon, Wis.; and John Deere Ottumwa Works in Ottumwa, Iowa, for the fabrication and assembly of combine harvesters, hay and forage equipment, lawn and garden equipment, and utility vehicles.

Suppliers who participate in the Achieving Excellence Program are evaluated annually in several key performance categories, including quality, cost management, delivery, technical support, and responsiveness.
