Honda’s Excellence in Delivery and Quality award honored North American suppliers for outstanding performance in supplying the company with parts and materials during 2022. Last year was especially challenging in the face of critical supply issues, logistics and transportation disruptions, weather impacts and workforce issues. This is the 5th time in the last 6 years RYOBI has received the award.
Ryobi is very honored and thankful to again receive this distinguished award and to be recognized as a top 5% supplier in Honda’s excellent supply base. Honda’s recognition of Ryobi under such challenging supply chain conditions, is a true testament of the resolve and steadfast commitment of each and every one of our associates, states Ryan Willhelm, President & Chief Operating Officer.
Honda has recognized its suppliers with awards for over 35 years during its annual Honda Supplier Conference, which returned to an in-person event this year in Columbus, Ohio for the first time since 2019.
"The success of our journey to tomorrow must travel along a road of collaboration and communication between Honda and our suppliers,” said Mike Lapham, general manager of procurement at Honda Development and Manufacturing of America. “As we prepare for our transition to electrification, our future success remains tied to the production of our current products to take care of our Honda and Acura customers and fuel our investment in our electrified and digital future.”
