Sheffield clutch team wins Schaeffler award

• Schaeffler’s ‘Fit for Quality’ Silver Medal has been awarded to the company’s Sheffield-based clutch disc production facility team

Schaeffler’s UK clutch production team has won a prestigious internal company award, recognising the fact that not a single clutch disc made at the factory was returned over the previous two years.

 In recognition of this zero-defects achievement, the team has been given the motion technology company’s highest possible award, the ‘Fit for Quality’ Silver Medal, which Schaeffler only bestows on the best performing facilities.

“At Schaeffler, our success is driven by the excellence and expertise of our workforce,” said Matthew Selby, Sales and Marketing Director at Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket (UK) Ltd. “Schaeffler’s prestigious ‘Fit for Quality’ Silver Medal demonstrates the focus on customer satisfaction and the keen eye for detail that our colleagues at our clutch production facility in Sheffield have.

“In the last two years the Sheffield clutch disc team have delivered perfect products to all its vehicle producing customers. We are extremely proud of the Sheffield team and would like to say a huge congratulations to plant manager Ellie Matthews and all those involved.”
