DAF recognizes top performing suppliers
In the DAF Museum in Eindhoven, DAF honoured its best performing suppliers during the 'DAF SPM Recognition Event'. These suppliers all participate in the 'Supplier Performance Management Program' (SPM). This allows them to earn the status of Achiever, Leader, and Master.
 

The 2025 DAF SPM Recognition Event took place at the DAF Museum in Eindhoven, where DAF put the spotlights on suppliers that reached the SPM Master, Leader and Achiever levels.

“As a PACCAR company, DAF honors suppliers every year for their strong performance and teamwork”, said Jos Smetsers, Executive Director PACCAR Purchasing and member of the DAF Board of Management. “Our suppliers play an important role in allowing us to constantly increase product quality and exceed customer expectations. Their commitment to the SPM Program shows how dedicated they are to DAF, and this recognition truly reflects their value.”

“We look back on a very successful event”, Smetsers added. “Next year, we will again organize the DAF SPM Recognition Event, because DAF and our suppliers keep pushing each other to constantly improve.”
