ā€œ2020 was a tough year in general, so for NSK to move to the top of the ranks is impressive,ā€ said Joe Limbaugh, Motion Executive Vice President of Supply Chain, Operations Support, Marketing and Enterprise Excellence. ā€œOur standards as measured through our Supply Chain process are rigorous, and improvement takes understanding, dedication and overall hard work. NSK rose to the occasion and we are proud of their accomplishments. Suppliers who finished in our Top 50 are the ā€˜best of the bestā€™ in our industry.ā€
