Novares named GMs best supplier 2018

Novares Group’s La Prairie du Chien site in the US has been named as GM (General Motors) 2018 Supplier of the Year, in recognition of its exceptional quality performance.

This is the second year in a row that the plant has won the award following another perfect year with no customer complaints and an exemplary quality performance of zero defects per million parts delivered.
