Newmar Corp., a subsidiary of Winnebago Industries, recently recognized several suppliers and individual contributors for their supply chain performance for 2022 at its annual banquet held March 9 at the Sammlung Platz Event Center in Nappanee, Indiana.

The annual awards recognize suppliers for outstanding performance based on internal surveys, measuring each supplier in multiple categories while interacting with Newmar’s purchasing, manufacturing, quality, service and engineering departments. A score of 195 of a possible 201 points were required for the suppliers to earn an invitation to the evening’s festivities.

“We had another challenging year for supply chain in 2022, and it is important to recognize our key suppliers that have continued to deliver quality product on time to Newmar,” said Matt McQuown, vice president of supply chain. “These companies and individuals contributed greatly to Newmar’s continued success.”

Newmar’s new president, Casey Tubman, took the opportunity to introduce himself in-person to many of Newmar’s suppliers. In talking to the crowd of more than 170, Tubman said, “Bringing together our top suppliers for a meal together and recognizing each of you is a highlight of year for the entire Newmar team.”

For 2022, more than 500 suppliers were eligible to receive an award. Of those, 73 suppliers scored excellent and were eligible for individuals awards listed below. Award recipients are recognized for the service, dedication and commitment to serving Newmar. In addition to supplier attendees, multiple employees from Newmar and Winnebago Industries were in attendance.
