FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hitachi Astemo received the
General Motors Overdrive Award at GM's recent 32nd annual
Supplier of the Year awards program in Miami, Florida.
Hitachi Astemo was one of just eight companies to earn the
Overdrive Award for programs in 2023.
The Overdrive Award recognizes exceptional suppliers who
consistently exceed expectations in their partnership with GM. A
global, cross-functional GM team selects Overdrive award winners
based on performance, innovation, cultural alignment with GM's
values and commitment to achieving GM's ambitious goals.
The selection process prioritizes three core values: Safety,
Inclusion and Relationships. These foundational values underpin all
other priorities, including Sustainability, Innovation, Execution,
Resilience and Profitability.
General Motors Vice President for Global Purchasing and Supply
Chain Jeff Morrison presented the award to Hitachi Astemo, Ltd.
President & CEO Kohei Takeuchi;
Hitachi Astemo Americas, Inc. CEO and President Tim Clark, and Hitachi Astemo Americas, Inc.
Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing Rob Sharpe.
GM's Overdrive Award recognition for Hitachi Astemo resulted
from manufacturing modifications urgently needed to support a
critical engine production launch in April of 2023, Sharpe
noted.
He pointed out that Hitachi Astemo's Fuel Systems Team
understood the importance of the manufacturing modifications needed
by GM and completed the requested modifications within a week while
satisfying all of the customer's related engineering and quality
requirements.
"We're honored to partner with these top suppliers who have made
notable contributions to our transformation," GM's Morrison said.
"We're pushing boundaries, pioneering new technologies and
redefining what's possible. Their innovation and support are
critical to helping us deliver the world-class vehicles our
customers have come to expect."
