MANN+HUMMEL, a leading global expert for filtration solutions, has been honoured as a Supplier of the Year by General Motors. The honour was given during GM’s 27th annual ‘Supplier of the Year’ awards ceremony in Detroit last month. It is the 24th time MANN+HUMMEL has received the award.
Speaking at the ceremony, GM senior vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain, Steve Kiefer, said, “We hold our suppliers to a high bar,” adding, “They went above and beyond to deliver the innovations and quality that will help us earn customers for life.”
Kurk Wilks, President and General Manager OEM at MANN+HUMMEL, while accepting the award from Bill Peers, Director Global Sales for GM, said, “General Motors is a very important longstanding customer for MANN+HUMMEL. We believe in their direction and remain deeply committed to aligning to their business priorities.”
He added, “To be recognized for our 24th Supplier of the Year is an honor and demonstrates the deep commitment each of us at MANN+HUMMEL have towards our longstanding partnership.”
More than half of the suppliers are repeat winners from 2017. The Supplier of the Year award winners were chosen by a global team of GM purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and logistics executives. Winners were selected based on performance criteria in Product Purchasing, Global Purchasing and Manufacturing Services, Customer Care and Aftersales, and Logistics.
GM recognized 133 of its best suppliers from 15 countries that have consistently exceeded GM’s expectations, created outstanding value or introduced innovations to the company.
