STOCKHOLM, May 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIVsdb), the worldwide
leader in automotive safety systems, was honored with a 2016 FCA US
LLC Supplier of the Year award in the Electrical category.
FCA US LLC honored 16 North American supplier partners at its
annual Supplier Conference held at MotorCity Casino Hotel in
Detroit. The Supplier of the Year
awards recognize companies that have shown an extraordinary
commitment to innovation, quality, warranty, cost, delivery and the
FCA Foundational Principles.
"We honor those who continue to fuel our momentum by providing
us not only the best ideas and cutting-edge technologies, but also
the suppliers who consistently exceed our expectations," said
Scott Thiele, Chief Purchasing
Officer, FCA – Global. "We know that you are the backbone of this
industry and the partnerships we have formed over the years have
brought forth some of the most exciting vehicles in the market,
from the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, the industry's first
electrified minivan, to the world's most powerful
factory-production V-8 in the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon."
Award recipients were determined based on an evaluation of each
company's supplier scorecard performance in 2016 – a rating system
that evaluates supplier performance in areas such as quality,
delivery, cost, warranty and partnership – and input from FCA
senior leadership.
"We are proud that FCA US
recognizes Autoliv's dedication to quality, innovation and
alignment to their foundational principles," said David Jackson, Autoliv Vice President, Global
FCA Passive Safety Business Unit. "This award was directed to both
the Passive Safety and Electronics side of Autoliv's business with
FCA US and reflects our commitment
to saving more lives."
The awards were given out during a private dinner ceremony at
Meadow Brook Hall, the historic home built by Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of auto pioneer
John Dodge, in Rochester, Michigan.
FCA holds similar supplier recognition ceremonies in three other
locations across the globe.
