The prestigious award, celebrating its eighth consecutive year, is given annually to GM’s best global suppliers in recognition of their superior performance during the previous calendar year.

“Venture is one of our best and brightest suppliers,” said Harold R.

Their contributions to General Motors’ overall success are immeasurable. We look upon the Supplier of the Year award as an important recognition of their value as an automotive industry supplier.”

“On behalf of all of our employees world-wide,” said Winget about his company’s award, “I’m extremely pleased to accept this honor from GM.
