Siemens PLM Software Honored as one of Visteon Corporation’s Top Suppliers
Siemens PLM Software announced it has been honored with a Visteon Important Partner Award for outstanding overall performance in providing services to Visteon Corporation, one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers.
Siemens PLM Software was recognized as a top supplier to Visteon in the Non-Production category during an April 16 ceremony at Visteon’s Corporate Offices and Innovation Center in Van Buren Township, Mich. (U.S.)
The Visteon Important Partner Award program, now in its sixth year, honors Visteon suppliers that achieve “best in class” ratings for quality, delivery, technology, launch and cost-control performance. Siemens PLM Software was among 23 companies honored for their 2007 performance, representing less than one percent of Visteon’s global production and non-production suppliers.
“Siemens PLM Software has distinguished itself as an outstanding Visteon supplier in its service area, whose performance has been instrumental in helping Visteon deliver innovative, high-quality, cost-efficient products to vehicle manufacturers,” said Patrick Bauer, Visteon senior director, material planning and logistics – indirect and central purchasing.
“Siemens PLM Software is proud to be the first-ever information technology partner to receive this prestigious distinction in recognition of our PLM solutions and services,” said Dave Shook, senior vice president and managing director, Americas, Siemens PLM Software. “We are honored to be acknowledged for our Teamcenter® solutions that support Visteon as a leading global automotive supplier.”
Of the 23 companies earning Visteon Important Partner Awards, eight are based in the Asia-Pacific region, six in Europe, five in North America, and four in South America.
“Having a world-class supply base is critical to Visteon’s ability to meet the technology, quality and cost needs of vehicle manufacturers around the world, and these 23 suppliers represent ‘the best of the best,’” said Donald J. Stebbins, Visteon president and chief operating officer. “We are proud to recognize these suppliers, who have performed at an extremely high level in supporting our three strategic product groups – climate, electronics and interiors.”
