GM names Federal-Mogul Corp. Supplier of the Year

Federal-Mogul Corporation received the General Motors 2007 Supplier of the Year Award for its contributions to GM’s global product and performance achievements.

The company's piston and connecting rod technology was highlighted by the automaker, whose 16th annual award — themed the “Best of the Best” — was given during recent ceremonies in Jacksonville, Fla.

“GM is proud to honor Federal-Mogul as a GM Supplier of the Year winner,” says Bo Andersson, GM group vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. “This award is our way of telling the winners that we appreciate all of their efforts in working together with GM to manufacture world-class vehicles."
