GM celebrates world class performance

GM recently recognized the exceptional contributions of our suppliers during the 14th annual Supplier of the Year awards.

Of the 85 recipients, MANN+HUMMEL GmbH of Germany and Magee Rieter Automotive Systems of the United States are the only companies to receive Supplier of the Year honors every year since the award's inception in 1992. GM also honored five minority suppliers as being best in the world, including Black River Plastics, Bridgewater Interiors LLC, MPS Group, Inc., NYX, Inc., and The Ideal Group, Inc.

"No automaker has as big a global reach as GM, with more than 9 million vehicles produced each year. GM needs suppliers capable of working with the automaker in all markets, by providing world-class quality, delivery and landed cost," said Bo Andersson, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.

Joining Andersson in honoring the recipients were GM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Rick Wagoner; GM Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, Fritz Henderson; GM Vice Chairman, Global Product Development, Robert Lutz; GM Group Vice President, Global Manufacturing and Labor Relations, Gary Cowger; and GM Vice President, Global Engineering, Jim Queen.
