ORBIS® Corporation, an international leader in reusable packaging, has earned recognition as a partner-level supplier for 2022 in the John Deere Achieving Excellence program. Partner level is Deere & Company’s highest supplier qualification. The Oconomowoc-based company was selected for this honor in recognition of its dedication to providing exceptional quality products and services, as well as its commitment to continuous improvement. The company’s employees accepted the recognition during formal ceremonies held in April 2023. ORBIS supports John Deere’s network of reusable containers to deliver parts to its facilities.
“ORBIS remains steadfast in its mission to provide sustainable, efficient and reliable packaging solutions that help move the supply chain forward.” said Don Schneider, national accounts manager for ORBIS Corporation. “This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team and reaffirms our commitment to continually improve and deliver the highest quality products and services to John Deere. We are proud to be part of the John Deere supply chain and look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts to drive mutual success.”
Suppliers participating in the Achieving Excellence program are evaluated annually in several key performance categories, including quality, delivery, process alignment, value creation and relationship. John Deere Supply Management created the program in 1991 to provide an evaluation and feedback process to suppliers that would promote continuous improvement.
