HELLLA again Recognized by General Motors as a 2021 Supplier of the Year Winner

Automotive lighting and electronics expert HELLA was named a GM Supplier of
the Year winner in General Motors’ 30th annual Supplier of the Year awards
in two categories again: Chassis Electronics and Lighting & Bulbs. HELLA
continues the streak of excellence with this being the fourth year in a row
to receive this award.

GM’s Supplier of the Year award recognizes global suppliers that distinguish
themselves by exceeding GM’s requirements, in turn providing GM customers
with innovative technologies and among the highest quality in the automotive
industry.

This year, GM recognized 134 suppliers from 16 countries with the Supplier
of the Year distinction. A global cross functional team selected the 2021
Supplier of the Year winners based on performance criteria in Product
Purchasing, Global Purchasing and Manufacturing Services, Customer Care and
Aftersales and Logistics.

“This year’s Supplier of the Year event was special not only because it’s
the 30th anniversary of the program, but because it provided us with the
opportunity to recognize our suppliers for persevering through one of the
most challenging years the industry has ever faced,” said Shilpan Amin, GM
vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. “These top suppliers
showed resilience and reinforced their commitment to pursuing sustainability
and innovation. Through our strong relationships and collaboration, GM and
our suppliers are poised to build a brighter future for generations to
come.”

“Having won our 4th Supplier of the Year award in a row, is a true testament
to how GM and HELLA have forged a strong partnership to bring our customers
the best solutions for tomorrow,“ said Joerg Weisgerber, Member of the
Electronics Executive Board at HELLA. „We are again honored to receive this
award and look forward to our continued relationship.”
