BASF was named 2015 Supplier of the Year by General Motors (GM) at a ceremony in Detroit a few days ago. Wayne T. Smith, President and CEO of BASF Corp., accepted the award the company has received eleven times since 2002.
"GM is an important customer for BASF, and this award signifies the value of the relationship we have developed over the years," Smith said. "Working closely with GM colleagues, we integrate modern paint processes with special effects pigments and technologies to offer vehicle buyers a wide range of colors and coatings for their vehicles."
"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 have not only brought innovation, they delivered it with the quality our customers deserve."
The 2015 Supplier of the Year winners are chosen by a global GM team from the areas of purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and logistics and selected based on performance criteria in product purchasing, indirect purchasing, customer service, after-sales and logistics.
