GM names Harman ‘Supplier of the Year’

General Motors (GM) named Harman as its 2021 Supplier of the Year. The announcement came in conjunction with the American automotive brand’s 30th annual Supplier of the Year awards ceremony in Phoenix, Arizona.

The goal of GM’s Supplier of the Year award is to recognize global suppliers that distinguish themselves by exceeding GM’s requirements, which allows the Detroit-based company to provide their customers with innovative car technologies.  Recently, GM recognized 134 suppliers from 16 countries with the Supplier of the Year distinction.

“It is an honor to once again be recognized by GM as a Supplier of the Year. This recognition reflects the effort and commitment of our Automotive team who, even in the face of the sustained headwinds confronting our industry, have achieved this impressive level of excellence. Our collaboration with GM continues to deliver on our mission of ‘Consumer Experiences. Automotive Grade,’ and we are proud to be innovating together — now and into the future,” said Harman Automotive President Christian Sobottka.

“This year’s Supplier of the Year event was special not only because it’s the 30th anniversary of the program, but because it provided us with the opportunity to recognize our suppliers for persevering through one of the most challenging years the industry has ever faced. These top suppliers showed resilience and reinforced their commitment to pursuing sustainability and innovation. Through our strong relationships and collaboration, GM and our suppliers are poised to build a brighter future for generations to come,” said GM Global Purchasing and Supply Chain VP Shilpan Amin.
