Mahle has presented awards to its suppliers in six categories: Quality, Logistics, Global Cooperation, Performance, Innovation and Project Management. 

“We are honouring our suppliers who set themselves apart through their consistently outstanding achievement,” said Mahle chairman, Wolf-Henning Schneider.

“With many of them, we have enjoyed a close and trusting partnership for a long time. Thanks in large part to their work, Mahle in turn is able to deliver excellent products to its customers.”

The following companies received a Mahle Supplier Award:

Ravago Group received the Logistic Excellence Award. Thanks to optimised delivery chains, this supplier achieved dramatic reductions in warehousing and delivery times for its polymer products, from several days down to delivery within just a few hours.

The Quality Excellence Award went to Huafon. The company based in China earned honours not only as a result of the high quality of its products, but also for its ability to respond flexibly to customer requirements during production peaks.

For its project management, Mahle recognised Samu Dies with the Project Management Award. The Korean manufacturer of injection moulds achieved results through excellent project management, while also providing an agile, flexible response to project changes under adverse conditions.

The winner of the Innovation Award was Japanese company, Kokoku Intech. Mahle conferred the award in recognition of the company’s innovative drive: Kokoku Intech developed a lower-cost material replacing the one used previously, while fulfilling all technical specifications and quality requirements.

The recipient of the Performance Award was the Swiss company Jansen, which manufactures precision steel tubes, among other products and supplies all Mahle regions worldwide. Jansen distinguished itself through a deep understanding of Mahle’s requirements and above-par flexibility in supplying its goods for production startups and series production.

There were two joint winners in the Global Cooperation Award category: UACJ, a Japanese supplier of extruded aluminum sections with production locations on several continents, and SJCMM, a manufacturer of die-cast parts, turned parts, and forged blanks.

Both companies boast impressive records of consistently outstanding achievement and have successfully participated as project partners in numerous Mahle projects around the world.

“Especially because of the massive change in our sector with substantially shorter development cycles in some cases, we are pleased to have a good partnership with our suppliers,” said Mahle global purchasing board member, Wilhelm Emperhoff.

“This partnership is characterised by a high degree of innovative strength and the utmost quality awareness. Our Top Supplier Convention reflected exactly that.”
