Quaker Houghton has earned recognition as a Partner-level supplier for 2026 in the John Deere Achieving Excellence Program.
The Partner-level status is Deere & Company’s highest supplier rating. The Conshohocken, Pa.-Based company was selected for the honor in recognition of its dedication to providing products and services of outstanding quality and its commitment to continuous improvement. Company employees accepted the recognition during formal ceremonies held in April at Bend XPO in East Moline, Illinois.
Quaker Houghton is a supplier of chemical management services (Fluidcare) for fluids, including cost-saving projects. They also supply chemical pretreatment products for metal before paint, wastewater treatment products, and other fluids, all to John Deere operations in nine Fluidcare sites globally and 11 Non-Fluidcare sites.
“Relationships are important. Partnerships are important,” says Al Enrique, Product Application Manager, Quaker Houghton. “Being recognized with their highest classification status of “Partner” can/will open doors for future business and growth within John Deere in not only our QH Fluidcare - our fluid management service, but also our Advanced Solutions group and others as well.”
Suppliers who participate 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 a supplier evaluation and feedback process that promotes continuous improvement.
Quaker has a presence around the world, including operations in over 25 countries. Quaker Houghton is headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, located near Philadelphia in the United States.
