The Amsted Industries unit earned the distinction for the first time, based on collaboration and performance across 2025.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Auto Parts
ConMet, an Amsted Industries company, was named FleetPride's 2025 Supplier of the Year, the first time it has received the distinction. FleetPride, a distributor of heavy-duty aftermarket truck and trailer parts and services, cited ConMet's investment of time, effort and resources throughout 2025.
Why it matters
The award recognizes supplier collaboration, performance and contributions to shared business objectives in the heavy-duty aftermarket channel. FleetPride said it selected ConMet for its responsiveness, consistent execution and alignment with its strategic priorities.
ConMet received FleetPride Supplier Partner Awards in 2022 and 2024 before this year's top honor. The award was announced Nov. 2, after FleetPride released its 2025 supplier award recipients on Sept. 25.

Roadmap
ConMet's rise from Supplier Partner Awards in 2022 and 2024 to the 2025 Supplier of the Year mirrors a supplier-tier progression within FleetPride's annual awards program. The move positions ConMet as a sustained partner in the heavy-duty aftermarket channel rather than a one-time honoree.
Fleet operators buying heavy-duty aftermarket parts through FleetPride may see the supplier's products and service levels reflected in their distributor relationships. The recognition signals consistent supply performance for buyers sourcing wheel ends and related components.
The takeaway
Supplier awards like this one reward sustained collaboration rather than single transactions, which is a useful signal for fleet buyers evaluating long-term parts partners. Consistent execution across years, as ConMet showed from 2022 through 2025, is the pattern the award rewards.
