OREANDA-NEWS. General Motors recognized 78 of its best global suppliers Thursday evening during its 23rd annual Supplier of the Year awards ceremony.

Winning suppliers from around the world received the award for going above and beyond GM’s requirements, designed to provide customers with the most innovative technologies and the industry’s best quality vehicles.

“These companies are the best-of-the-best suppliers, and deserving of special recognition for their outstanding contributions,” said Steve Kiefer, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. “We need them to continue to bring us their most innovative technologies, highest quality services and work, and we will continue to win together for the benefit of our customers.”

In addition to the Supplier of the Year awards, GM honored four companies – Dell Inc., Johnson Controls Inc., Lear Corp., and The Maersk Group – with its Overdrive Award, recognition of extraordinary leadership in cultural change and commitment initiatives that drove exceptional business results for GM.
