“Supplier of the Year 2024” by GM
Each year, General Motors (GM) acknowledges its most exceptional suppliers during the prestigious “Supplier of the Year” event. This year there were 92 suppliers across 12 countries recognized, including KIRCHHOFF Automotive which was proudly presented with the “Supplier of the Year 2024 in the Creativity Team of Structures” award.
Larry Hagood, President & CEO of KIRCHHOFF Automotive North America, Ken Hagle, Director of Sales, and Josh Forquer, Executive Vice President of Sales and Technical Development, accepted the award in Phoenix, Arizona, in early April. “Receiving this award in consecutive years is a great achievement for us, as it reflects our long-term commitment to meeting GM’s quality, delivery, and cost targets,” said Larry Hagood. “Since only a small fraction of GM’s global supply base receives this award, we are very proud to be among this very exclusive group and look forward to working with GM to achieve these targets in the future.”
In the selection process, GM evaluates suppliers based on their comprehensive performance throughout 2024, with a particular emphasis on alignment with GM's core values and strategic objectives. This recognition underscores our continued commitment to excellence and partnership with one of the world's prominent automotive manufacturers.
“For more than 30 years, General Motors has recognized the company’s top global suppliers at our annual event, spotlighting their innovation and resiliency through even the most challenging circumstances,” said Jeff Morrison, global chief procurement officer at GM. “Together, we’re helping bring advanced technology and the industry’s broadest portfolio of vehicles to market for GM customers.”
