OSHAWA — General Motors recognized its most innovative partners at its 26th Supplier of the Year awards ceremony on April 20 in Orlando, Florida. Recipients of the Supplier of the Year award include 125 suppliers from 17 countries, with 16 first-time winners, as well as eleven companies who earned GM’s Innovation Award, Overdrive Award and Customer of the Year award.
GM marked the 50th anniversary of its supplier diversity program by recognizing nine suppliers owned by minorities and/or women – eight Supplier of the Year award winners and one Overdrive Award winner.
GM’s Supplier of the Year award is reserved for suppliers that distinguish themselves by going above and beyond GM’s requirements, providing customers with the most innovative technologies and highest quality in the automotive industry.
“This is an opportunity for General Motors to honor those suppliers who are truly the best of the best,” said Steve Kiefer, GM senior vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. “The automotive industry is transforming at an incredible rate. The relationships we have with our supply base means everything when it comes to delivering a strong vehicle lineup today and the cutting-edge vehicles and mobility services of tomorrow.”
Alps Electric, Czarnowski Display Services, Ushr Inc. and Nexteer Automotive won the Innovation Award for delivering cutting-edge technologies that substantially enhance vehicle capabilities and/or customer experience.
