Baldor’s Marion, NC Facility Secures 2007 North American Maintenance Excellence Award
Baldor's 174,000‑square‑foot facility in Marion, North Carolina—home to more than 100 dedicated employees—has been honored with the 2007 North American Maintenance Excellence (NAME) Award, presented by the Foundation for Industrial Maintenance Excellence. The plant specializes in manufacturing Dodge‑mounted tapered and spherical roller bearings.
The NAME award is widely regarded as the pinnacle of recognition within industrial maintenance. It evaluates a maintenance organization against world‑class standards in organization, work process, and materials management, and rewards those that consistently deliver operational excellence and capacity assurance.
The Marion facility will receive the award on January 14. “We are extremely proud to be recognized for our maintenance excellence,” said Harley Freshour, maintenance supervisor. “Our entire team focuses on executing our maintenance strategies, knowing that machine reliability is the foundation of outstanding customer service.”
This achievement marks the 21st time the NAME award has been bestowed upon a Baldor plant since the award’s inception in 1990.
