Brake Parts Inc recognized by General Motors as a 2019 Supplier of the Year winner

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 originally scheduled as a live-event to be held in March but was postponed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The recognition is for supplier performance in the 2019 calendar year. This is the third time Brake Parts Inc 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.

“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.

“We are truly honored to be named a GM Supplier of the Year once again as this esteemed award is a testament to BPI’s deep commitment to providing the highest quality brake products, coupled with advanced innovation and superior customer service,” said David Overbeeke, president and CEO, Brake Parts Inc. “We will continue to work hard to go above and beyond GM’s expectations.”

“We are thrilled to be recognized by the GM family with this prestigious award for the third time in four years,” said Nick Viveiros, director of sales OE/OES, Brake Parts Inc. “Throughout 2019 there was countless collaboration on many large strategic projects involving cross functional groups from both GM and BPI to elevate the end user experience with ACDelco, while also highlighting the product line performance, safety and quality. We look forward to continuing our great partnership for years to come.”
