BELLEVILLE, Mich., July 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascent Global
Logistics, a leading transportation and supply chain solutions
provider, announces the recognition of its On-Demand team as a
General Motors Supplier of the Year. The Ascent On-Demand team was
honored during a virtual ceremony on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, which recognized
recipients of the company's 28th annual Supplier of the Year
awards. The recognition is for supplier performance during the 2019
calendar year and marks the seventh time that the On-Demand team
from Ascent Global Logistics has received the award.
"Our suppliers play a key role in delivering the products,
services and experiences our customers deserve – and these
award-winning suppliers went above and beyond our expectations,"
said Shilpan Amin, GM vice
president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.
During the event, GM recognized 116 of its best suppliers from
15 countries that have consistently exceeded GM's expectations,
created outstanding value or introduced innovations to the company.
The awards ceremony was initially scheduled as a March 2020 live event but was postponed due to
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We are exceptionally proud to receive the GM Supplier of the
Year award once again this year. We have helped solve difficult
supply chain challenges throughout our two decades of partnership
and are honored to be recognized for our work. We continue to be
impressed by our team's exemplary work in delivering premium
solutions and best-in-class customer service," said Tom Stenglein, President of Ascent
On-Demand.
The Supplier of the Year award winners were chosen by a global
team of GM purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and
logistics executives. Award recipients were selected based on
performance criteria in Product Purchasing, Global Purchasing and
Manufacturing Services, Customer Care and Aftersales and
Logistics.
"We also believe it's important at this point in time to thank
our entire supply base for their efforts the last few months to
mitigate the impacts of COVID-19," added Amin. "Not only have we
been able to safely restart our manufacturing operations, our
suppliers played a key role in assisting our initiatives to
increase the supply of ventilators and personal protective
equipment (PPE) for frontline health care workers to help save
lives and keep communities safe."
