Metaldyne, LLC has announced that in total three of its global operating plants received Supplier Quality Excellence Awards from General Motors for exceptional quality and delivery performance in 2012.

General Motors recognised Metaldyne facilities located in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico (see news from 9th October 2012), Suzhou, China and North Vernon, Indiana, USA, for quality performance over the past 12 months. Plants must meet a set of stringent quality and delivery performance grading criteria to be eligible for the award, which is only given to a select group of GM’s top performing suppliers.
