Hynes Industries has been named a Platinum Supplier by Wabash, a recognition the manufacturer of commercial truck-trailers awards each year to a select group of high-performing suppliers. The designation marks the fourth consecutive year and ninth time overall that Hynes has received the honor.

Hynes Industries, a producer of custom metal fabrication solutions utilizing roll forming and related manufacturing methods, has operations in Youngstown and Painesville, Ohio, and Kokomo, Indiana. Hynes supplies Wabash with a range of metal structural components used in over-the-road trailers and truck bodies – including rear frame structural components, bumper tubes, roof bows, corrugated scuff, horizontal E-track, nose posts and logistic side posts. These parts are produced at the company’s Youngstown and Kokomo facilities.

“Wabash sets a high bar, and meeting it year after year takes a team that treats their priorities as our own,” said Rick Organ, CEO of Hynes Industries. “We don’t take a relationship like this for granted. Each award is a checkpoint, not a finish line – a reminder to keep finding ways to improve our performance.”

The Platinum designation reflects our commitment to strategic partnership, consistent quality, delivery, cost performance and service. Hynes was among the suppliers Wabash recognized for 2025.

According to Wabash, suppliers are evaluated through a cross-functional process that assesses performance and alignment with the company’s operational priorities. The recognition highlights partners that demonstrate a consistent, collaborative approach to quality and continuous improvement.

Hynes serves the truck-trailer, data center, automated material handling, solar energy and commercial-industrial markets. The company has continued to expand its engineering and quality capabilities by investing in advanced fabrication and AI-based quality control equipment to deepen the value it delivers to customers across those markets.
