YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – For the third year in a row and eighth time overall, Hynes Industries has been recognized with the Platinum Supplier Award from Wabash, a leading manufacturer of commercial truck-trailers and related products.
The award honors top suppliers for their excellence in innovation, quality, delivery, cost and service.
Hynes Industries, a custom roll form metal solutions manufacturer with manufacturing operations in Youngstown and Painesville, Ohio, and Kokomo, Ind., earned the distinction among 38 companies selected nationwide.
The award highlights Hynes’ continued role in supplying a wide range of components used in over-the-road trailers and truck bodies for Wabash and produced at the Youngstown and Kokomo locations. The recognition reflects the close, long-term relationship between the two companies and Hynes’ commitment to delivering performance-ready, engineered solutions on time with superior quality and service, a news release states.
“In our industry, being consistent isn’t enough – you have to evolve, solve problems before they surface and make your customers’ challenges your own,” said Rick Organ, CEO of Hynes Industries. “That’s the kind of partnership we’ve built with Wabash. This award isn’t just about past performance. We accept it as a challenge to keep raising the bar.”
Hynes serves truck and trailer manufacturing, solar energy, automated material handling, data center and general industrial markets. In recent years, the company has expanded its engineering and quality system capabilities and invested in advanced fabrication equipment to deepen value for its customers and support long-term growth.
Hynes is celebrating its 100th year in business, a centennial marked by significant investments in innovation, talent and community engagement across its three plants.
