Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic: Pierburg's Czech plant, Pierburg, s.r.o, recently received General Motors' Supplier Quality Excellence Award for the exceptional product and delivery quality of its solenoid valves, exhaust-gas flaps, and secondary-air pumps.
This was the third time that the Supplier Quality Excellence Award has gone to outstanding suppliers. Quality Manager Tomas Petru accepted the award personally at a formal ceremony held at Adam Opel AG in Rüsselsheim. Sascha Günther, Vice President of Pierburg s.r.o., commented: "We are very happy at this prize which has been awarded to us on account of zero defects in our deliveries over the past 18 months. The award underscores that our constant efforts regarding production and logistics transparency have paid off. We will continue doing everything possible to maintain this high standard."
