Ternium earns awards from Toyota

The Argentina business unit of Luxembourg-based steelmaker Ternium has received awards from Toyota in recognition of its “excellence in the fields of logistics and quality standards.”

Ternium received its award in the category of Logistical Excellence at the 16th Annual Toyota Suppliers Conference. The award was given to recognize 100 percent fulfilment of orders, with no delays, for two consecutive years, according to Ternium.

Ternium also received a certificate in the Quality Standards category as reward for fulfilling its 2017 objectives, a process the company says it worked on throughout the year.

“These awards show that we’re on the right path,” says Marcelo Baccini, business director in Argentina for Ternium. “Now the challenge is to back up the improvement in productivity we began with Toyota, growing more reliable with each passing day and adding value throughout the process.”

Mauro Rossi, the head of Ternium’s Car Manufacturing Department, adds, “These awards reaffirm our strategy of long-term relationships with the Argentinian industrial sector as a whole, and with Toyota in particular. It is well-earned reward for the sustained commitment and hard work that has been put in by many people from different parts of the company over a number of years.”

The Japanese car manufacturer gives out awards to its suppliers in different categories to recognize achievements in safety, the environment, logistics, quality and costs. In 2017, Ternium says it received an award for its commitment to optimizing costs in the value chain.
