For the third year in succession EMS-CHEMIE received the «GM Supplier of the Year» award. With this coveted award, General Motors (GM) recognises its best suppliers throughout the world.

EMS-CHEMIE was honoured as “Supplier of the Year” for the third year in succession by General Motors (GM). The world’s largest automotive manufacturer GM awards this title to suppliers who have provided an excellent worldwide supply performance throughout the previous year.
