“We are extremely honored that DaimlerChrysler has recognized our commitment to providing superior automotive interior systems and batteries,” said Rande Somma, president of North America for Johnson Controls. “As a global market leader, we are committed to continuously anticipating, meeting and exceeding our customers’ ever-changing needs.”

The Commodity Award, formerly known as the Platinum Pentastar Award, is given to divisions of top suppliers that demonstrate exceptional performance within a commodity. Johnson Controls was the only Commodity Award winner in the interiors category and one of three award winners in the electrical/electronic category.

The Gold Award, formerly known as the Gold Pentastar Award, is given to specific supplier locations in three main categories — production, non- production and logistics. Ten Johnson Controls locations were singled out for going above and beyond the expected work they perform for DaimlerChrysler.

Both Commodity and Gold Awards are based upon excelling in various criteria, including quality, timely delivery, cost reductions and environmental regulatory compliance, as well as receiving a recommendation from the various DaimlerChrysler representatives who work with Johnson Controls.
