GM's Supplier of the Year award recognizes global suppliers that distinguish
themselves by exceeding GM's requirements, in turn providing GM customers with
innovative technologies and among the highest quality in the automotive
industry. This year, GM recognized 134 suppliers from 16 countries with the
Supplier of the Year distinction. This is the 4th time KATCON has received the
award.
"This award is testimony of the can-do and resilient mentality of our extended
Katcon family around the world; we dedicate it to all of our employees and
suppliers who made it possible, navigating an extremely complex environment for
the industry", said Carlos Turner, Katcon CEO. "GM was Katcon's first customer
30 years ago and we remain committed to providing them with solutions for
exhaust and aftertreatment, thermal management, and lightweight composite
materials for the next 30+ years. We are very excited about our digitalization
plans and our diversification into lightweight advanced material products and
EV battery enclosures, consistent with GM's long-term strategy".
"This year's Supplier of the Year event was special not only because it's the
30th anniversary of the program, but because it provided us with the
opportunity to recognize our suppliers for persevering through one of the most
challenging years the industry has ever faced," said Shilpan Amin, GM vice
president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. "These top suppliers showed
resilience and reinforced their commitment to pursuing sustainability and
innovation. Through our strong relationships and collaboration, GM and our
suppliers are poised to build a brighter future for generations to come."
