Ceremonies Celebrate World Class Performance

DETROIT, MI (2006-04-29) – General Motors Corp. presented 85 companies with its prestigious Supplier of the Year award today at a celebration held at GM’s Vehicle Engineering Center in Warren, Michigan. The Corporation of Year winner is scheduled to be named late Saturday during a special ceremony at the GM Design Dome in Warren.
Suppliers are an integral part of GM’s global product and performance, and each of the winners was recognized for its exceptional contributions to the company in 2005. This is the 14 th year for the award.

“No automaker has as big as a global reach as GM, with more than 9 million vehicles produced each year. GM needs suppliers capable of working with the automaker in all markets, by providing world-class quality, delivery and landed cost,” said Bo Andersson, GM Vice President, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.

The GM Supplier of the Year program began in 1992, and each year a global team of purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and logistics executives determines the winners. Its decisions are based on supplier performance in the areas of quality, service, technology and price.

Joining Andersson in honoring the recipients were GM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Rick Wagoner; GM Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, Fritz Henderson; GM Vice Chairman, Global Product Development, Robert Lutz; GM Group Vice President, Global Manufacturing and Labor Relations, Gary Cowger; and GM Vice President, Global Engineering, Jim Queen.

Of the 85 recipients, MANN+HUMMEL GmbH of Germany and Magee Rieter Automotive Systems of the United States are the only companies to receive Supplier of the Year honors every year since the award’s inception in 1992.

GM also honored five minority suppliers as being best in the world. They included: Black River Plastics, Bridgewater Interiors LLC, MPS Group, Inc., NYX, Inc., and The Ideal Group, Inc.
