On June 23, 2022, KIRCHHOFF Automotive honored its best suppliers of the year with the Supplier of the Year award (SOY) via a festive web conference.

There are three categories: capital and tooling, bought in parts, and raw materials. German mechanical engineering company ARKU, Polish company GRUPA KETY, and Korean steel group POSCO won “best supplier” in each category respectively.

“Particularly in these difficult times, we were able to rely fully on the suppliers who received awards today,” said Klaus Lawory, vice president of procurement, praising the effective cooperation between companies. Award selection was determined upon outstanding quality and high delivery reliability, as well as a high degree of further development and technological progress.
