In the ever changing business climate it is refreshing to find a partner like John Deere that not only talks the talk but also walks the walk when it comes to building a true business partnership,” said Paul Kangas, Hisco Minneapolis branch manager.
The Partner-level status is Deere & Company’s highest supplier rating. Hisco, a Houston based company, was selected for this honor in recognition of its dedication to providing products and service of outstanding quality as well as its commitment to continuous improvement. Company employees accepted the recognition at John Deere’s Achieving Excellence awards ceremony held on March 5, 2013 in Moline, Ill.

Suppliers who participate in the Achieving Excellence Program are evaluated annually in several key performance categories, including quality, cost management, delivery, technical support and wavelength, which is a measure of responsiveness.
