Lord Corp. signs three-year contract with PACCAR

CARY, N.C. (April 19)—Lord Corp.'s Mechanical Products Division has signed a three-year agreement with PACCAR, a leading manufacturer of light- to heavy-duty trucks and related components. Lord will continue to supply rubber suspension bushings, engine, radiator and cab mounts and various other vibration and noise isolation components to PACCAR, as it has for the past 15 years. But the long-term contract is significant as it follows PACCAR's designation of Lord as a Preferred Supplier in 1999, Lord said. "It is indicative of the commitment that our two organization have for one another as we continue to explore the synergies between us in the areas of knowledge-based manufacturing, global sourcing, new technology introduction and e-business," said Bob Berger, account manager for Lord's Mechanical Products Division.
