The awards ceremony was originally scheduled as a live-event to be held in March, but was postponed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The recognition is for supplier performance in the 2019 calendar year.
This is the second time Veoneer has received the 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 GM Global Purchasing and Supply Chain VP, Shilpan Amin.
“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. 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 (PPE) 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.
“We are extremely honoured to receive the 2019 General Motors Supplier of the Year Award for Electronic Modules,” added Veoneer chairman, president and CEO, Jan Carlson.
“We are proud to be recognised by our long-time partner for our commitment to performance, quality and innovation and to support their mission to deliver new levels of safety and convenience to car drivers and occupants across the globe.”
