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. On March 13, 2013, the award was presented personally to Madgalena Martullo, CEO and main shareholder of the EMS Group, and Christian Morf, Vice President Sales & Marketing / EMS-GRIVORY, at an official presentation ceremony in Detroit (USA).

EMS is the only resin manufacturer to date to have received this award. In 2010 GM created the new award category “Resins and Raw Materials” especially for EMS. At the award ceremony, GM praised not only its excellent longstanding business relationship with EMS, but emphasised as well the outstanding performance with regard to innovative technology and the quick response time of EMS as development partner.

Within the GM company this award indicates a good reputation which means that the title will be of great relevance as basis for future automotive developments.
