Continental Tire Recognized by General Motors as a 2019 Supplier of the Year Winner

This is the fourth time that Continental Tire has received the award in the past five years and the third consecutive year.

“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.

“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 protection equipment (PPE) for frontline health care workers to help save lives and keep communities safe.”

The Supplier of the Year award winners were chosen by a global team of GM purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and logistics executives. Winners were selected based on performance criteria in Product Purchasing, Global Purchasing and Manufacturing Services, Customer Care and Aftersales, and Logistics.

“It’s an honor for us to be selected a Supplier of the Year by General Motors,” said Seckin Sekeroglu, vice president of key account management for Original Equipment Passenger and Light Trucks for Continental Tire the Americas. “I’m proud of our team’s outstanding commitment to quality products and services, and we’re thankful to GM for recognizing that work. GM is a tremendous partner to us, and we look forward to continuing to build on our partnership in the future.”
