The family owned company Mett, has received the General Motors 2007 Supplier of the Year award for its significant contributions to GM’s global product and performance achievements.
The 16th annual award — themed the “Best of the Best” — was given during ceremonies Saturday, April 26 at the Sawgrass Marriott Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
“GM is proud to honour Mett as a GM Supplier of the Year winner, “ said Bo Andersson , GM group vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.
“This award is our way of telling the winners that we appreciate all of their efforts in working together with GM to manufacture world-class vehicles.
“Mett is among the best of the best,” he continued.
