AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner was named a GM Supplier of the Year by General
Motors during a virtual ceremony honoring the recipients of the
company's 28th annual Supplier of the Year awards on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.
During the event, GM recognized 116 of its best suppliers from
15 countries that have consistently exceeded GM's expectations,
created outstanding value or introduced innovations to the company.
The awards ceremony was originally scheduled as a live-event to be
held in March but was postponed due to the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. The recognition is for supplier performance in the 2019
calendar year.
Last year, during the GM Supplier of the Year awards ceremony,
BorgWarner was named one of four 2018 GM Innovation Award winners
for its Dual Volute turbocharger for gasoline engines.
"Our suppliers play a key role in delivering the products,
services and experiences our customers deserve – and these
award-winning suppliers went above and beyond our expectations,"
said Shilpan Amin, GM vice
president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.
"We also believe it's important at this point in time to thank
our entire supply base for their efforts the last few months to
mitigate the impacts of COVID-19," added Amin. "Not only have we
been able to safely restart our manufacturing operations, our
suppliers played a key role in assisting our initiatives to
increase the supply of ventilators and personal protection
equipment (PPE) for frontline health care workers to help save
lives and keep communities safe."
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.
"As an automotive supplier, there are few things as rewarding as
being recognized by OEM customers for the dedication, value and
excellence your team is delivering," said Frédéric Lissalde,
President and CEO of BorgWarner. "We are honored to be named a 2019
GM Supplier of the Year and look forward to further strengthening
our relationship with GM this year and beyond."
In addition to the 2019 GM Supplier of the Year Award, several
BorgWarner facilities earned the 2019 GM Supplier Quality
Excellence Award, including its plants in Bellwood, Illinois; Tianjin, China; Manesar, India; Brusque, Brazil; and Changnyeong and Pyeongtaek in
South Korea, which respectively
received the honor for the third and fifth consecutive time.
