Cunningham Brothers Auto Parts (Cunningham Brothers) announced it has been named a GM Supplier of the Year by General Motors during the 24th annual Supplier of the Year awards ceremony held March 10th at the Cobo Center in Detroit.
GM recognized 110 of its best suppliers from 17 countries that have “consistently exceeded GM’s expectations, created outstanding value or brought new innovations to the company.” This is the first time Cunningham Brothers has received the award.
“We are focused on building positive supplier relationships, bringing new customer-centric innovations to GM and being the OEM of choice among suppliers,” said Steve Kiefer, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. “The companies we recognize tonight not only have brought innovation, they delivered it with the quality our customers deserve.”
GM’s 2015 supplier recognition represents a nearly 40 percent increase in the number of suppliers honored compared to 79 recipients in 2014. More than half of the suppliers are repeat winners from 2014.
Winning suppliers were chosen by a global team of GM purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing, and logistics executives and selected based on performance criteria in product purchasing, indirect purchasing, customer care and aftersales, and logistics.
“This award is a source of great pride for our company,” said Benny Cunningham, CEO of Cunningham Brothers Auto Parts. “It shows our dedication to creating the best possible environment that encourages innovative thinking so we can provide the highest level of service and solutions to our customers.”
