March 23, 2009 - Marlborough, MA –
Diamond Machining Technology (DMT®), a leading manufacturer of diamond sharpening products, is proud to announce
that it was honored by Grainger as one of the distributor’s “Partners in Performance.” The honor, which was only given to approximately
2% of Grainger’s 1200 suppliers around the world in 2008, was presented at Grainger’s Annual Supplier Conference earlier this month in
Schaumburg, IL. DMT was selected for its superior on-time shipping performance and overall excellence. In 2008, DMT achieved an on-time
shipping performance rating of 99.2% by Grainger and an overall supplier score of 96.2%
"Grainger is proud to present DMT with the 2008 Partners in Performance Award," said D.G. Macpherson, Grainger’s
Senior Vice President, Global Supply Chain. “Now more than ever, Grainger is keenly focused on improving cycle times to help ensure
customers have access to the broad array of MRO products they need to efficiently maintain their facilities. We can achieve these goals
only with supplier partners who share this same commitment. We are proud to honor DMT’s commitment to the highest standards of
performance. We look forward to working together to enhance the service we provide customers and drive profitable growth for both companies."
“We are clearly proud to not only be working with such a strong distributor as Grainger, but to be honored by them
for our performance,” said Mark Brandon, President of Diamond Machining Technology. “We constantly strive for excellence in our customer
service and delivery efforts and it is always encouraging to be recognized for our work. We have enjoyed a 12 year business partnership
with Grainger and look forward to many more years to come as a close and trusted partner.”
Grainger's Partners in Performance Award recognizes suppliers who achieve excellence in several categories,
including responsiveness, information integrity, cost control, on time shipping, active collaboration and order fulfillment. Grainger
suppliers receive ratings throughout the year for their performance in each of these categories.

providing years of uncompromising service. Unlike other sharpeners, DMT’s products will not break, chip, crack, hollow or groove.
For more than 30 years, DMT has been an innovator in developing diamond sharpening products that are dependable and solve a multitude
of sharpening, honing or deburring needs. DMT’s patented and award-winning products allow for sharpening in a fraction
of the time required by other methods and are popular with woodworkers, chefs, and gardeners and even excellent for camping,
