Automotive industry recognition
NSG Group member, Pilkington Automotive has been named a GM Supplier of the Year by General Motors during a virtual ceremony honouring the recipients of the company’s 28th annual Supplier of the Year awards. During the event, GM recognised 116 of its leading suppliers from 15 countries. All have exceeded GM’s expectations in terms of value or innovation. This is the third time that Pilkington Automotive has received a GM Supplier Award.
“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” Mr Amin added. “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 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.
