DaimlerChrysler AG to Honor Top-Suppliers with "Global Supplier Award"

• Suppliers awarded for outstanding performance in 2004

• Award winners from five countries on three continents

"DaimlerChrysler bases its sourcing decisions on specific measures - quality, systems cost, technology, and supply," said Thomas W. Sidlik, member of the DaimlerChrysler Board of Management responsible for Global Procurement & Supply. "No matter whom the supplier, what the supplier makes or where they make it, each has to meet the same parameters - quality parts, with appropriate technology, delivered on time, at a fair price."

Suppliers with a business volume of over one million euro for the Chrysler Group Division as well as for the Commercial Vehicles Division or Mercedes Car Group are eligible. "DaimlerChrysler is committed to working with our suppliers to help them become the benchmark in each of their competitive arenas," said Sidlik. "The support of our suppliers is essential in the company's goal to deliver value to the customers of DaimlerChrysler all over the world, and many suppliers are exceeding expectations everyday. That's why we want to recognize them."

The award winning suppliers, companies from five countries on three continents, were: Anchor Tool and Die, USA, (Raw Materials/Body-In-White); BEHR (Interior); Behr, Germany, (Interior); Brose, Germany, (Exterior); EMC, USA, (General Goods and Services); Exel, Great Britain, (Logistics); Federal-Mogul, USA, (Powertrain); GROB-WERKE, Germany, (Manufacturing Goods and Services); NGK, Japan, (Electrical/Electronics); and Trelleborg, Sweden, (Chassis).

A commemorative trophy for the nine winners was created by Chris Nelson, a graduating student from College for Creative Studies - Arts & Crafts Department who earned a scholarship from DaimlerChrysler for designing the chosen award.
