Vitesco Technologies has honoured the exemplary performance of six of its 17,000 suppliers worldwide. The awards were presented to suppliers of production and non-production materials for the 2022 fiscal year.
The Supplier of the Year award is divided into four categories: in addition to the categories Passionate, Partnering and Pioneering – reflecting the corporate values of Vitesco Technologies – the manufacturer of sustainable drive solutions also presents a quality award for special achievements in product and supply chain quality.
Under the Passionate category, Mansfield Group from Dongguan City, PR China (stamped parts) was awarded, while under the Partnering category, ASIMCO Sealing Technologies from Nanjing, PR China (customised rubber seals) and ROHM from Kyoto, Japan (semiconductors) were awarded. Meanwhile, Ningbo Yunsheng from Ningbo, PR China (magnets) and STX Group from Amsterdam, Netherlands (sustainability certificates) were awarded under the Pioneering category, and the Quality award was awarded to TDK Electronics from Munich, Germany (sensors).
This year’s award winners reflect the company's large assortment of suppliers, ranging from young technology companies with just under 500 employees to global corporations with a workforce of over 15,000. The winning companies support Vitesco Technologies as a leading global developer and manufacturer of electrified drives.
Peter Reidegeld, Head of Purchasing & Supplier Quality Management, Vitesco Technologies, said, '2022 was a year of particular challenges: COVID-19, the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and ongoing global supply difficulties. Despite this, the suppliers have helped the company to overcome these obstacles and successfully continue our transformation towards electrification.'
