      <link>https://www.recmar.com/blog/2019-10-ppm-award-from-paccar.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>For the fourth consecutive year, RECMAR Products has been recognized as a 2019 10 PPM Quality award recipient by PACCAR.  </p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><em>"PACCAR annually recognizes excellent suppliers who meet or exceed PACCAR’s rigorous “10 ppm” quality standard. To be recognized, a supplier must operate near perfection – 10 or fewer defective parts for every million parts shipped to PACCAR. These suppliers must also meet performance criteria for on-time delivery and support of PACCAR’s operating divisions and their customers."</em><br></p><p>Achieving 10 PPM indicates that a defect or delay occurs on less than .001 percent of the products shipped.  These awards are based on a combination of the quality of delivered products, as well as the timeliness of the delivery and avoidance of warranty claims after the products are in use by the end customers.  That's a great track record, and it is a tribute to the production and administration teams ere at RECMAR Products.  Our employees take great pride in delivering quality parts, on time, every time.  <span class="redactor-invisible-space"></span></p><p>This is the 12th year that RECMAR Products has been recognized by PACCAR as a top supplier.  Only 89 US based companies earned this prestigious honor.  Five other Texas companies joined RECMAR on the list of 10 PPM supplier in 2019.  </p><p>For more information on RECMAR's Quality Program, <a href="https://www.recmar.com/quality.html">visit out website</a>.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Galietti Company operated out of the Miami, Florida area and was founded in 1956, supplying extruded aluminum and vinyl headliner and panel retainers, retainer caps, and curtain tracks to the aircraft industry.  The family business was last managed by Al Galietti until his untimely death in 2010.  Galietti Company developed a loyal customer base over the years that included many of the top small aircraft manufacturers in the US and Canada.  Galietti Company's customer base included Gulfstream Aerospace, Piper Aircraft, Cessna, LearJet, Dassault<span class="redactor-invisible-space">, Bombardier, Airstream, and many others.  In additon, Galietti had long supplied drapery hardware to iconic Airstream for use in their travel trailers.  Finally, there are countless companies that refurbish aircraft interiors that depend on the Galeitti line of products offered by RECMAR to efficiently and economically complete their projects.

      <description><![CDATA[<p><a title="" href="http://www.recmar.com/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/4/d/4d88a921f1ed8de7508f32e1fad2144b.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_55]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.recmar.com/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/4/d/4d88a921f1ed8de7508f32e1fad2144b.jpg" alt="" style="display:block; margin:auto;"></a></p><p>DC-7B N836D (c/n 45345) was delivered to Eastern Air Lines on January 23, 1958, just a few months prior to the advent of the jet age.  This plane took an interesting path from there to its current state, after serving as a commercial prop plane for many years.  After a painstaking restoration that is <a href="http://www.conniesurvivors.com/1-n836d_jul10_article.htm">chronicled here</a>, it seems there ultimately wasn't enough commercial interest to keep this majestic bird in the skies.  Apparently, she now rest on the ground in Charlotte, NC.
</p><p>During the restoration project mentioned above, it is interesting to note that <a href="https://www.recmar.com/3294-aluminum-curtain-track.html">RECMAR 3294 Aluminum Curtain Track</a> was used to restore the window curtains similarly to the way the plane's cabin was originally configured.  An image of the restored cabin is shown below.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>RECMAR Products is proud to help support Project Field of Dreams in Refugio, Texas.  Hurricane Harvey devastated a large area including Refugio in August of 2017.

Other organizations like Refugio Little League are still working through that process.  Fortunately, the fields are playable and ready for the upcoming spring season, but the field lights have not yet been replaced.  Little Leagues play such an important part of community for kids and adults alike, and the lessons learned on the ball fields are invaluable.  </p><p>If you are interested in helping as well, follow the YouCaring link below to donate.  <br></p><p>Play Ball!!!!</p><p><a href="https://www.youcaring.com/refugiolittleleague-946146">https://www.youcaring.com/refugiolittleleague-9461...</a><br></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RefugioLittleLeague/">https://www.facebook.com/RefugioLittleLeague/</a><span class="redactor-invisible-space"><br></span></p><p><span class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space"><a title="" href="http://www.recmar.com/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/1/6/166cba23290d5903b8e047cf5fc84b1d.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_54]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.recmar.com/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/1/6/166cba23290d5903b8e047cf5fc84b1d.jpg" style="max-width:673px;"></a><br></span></span></p>]]></description>
