ABC Technologies was recognized as a GM Overdrive Award winner as well as a multi-category Supplier of the Year award winner in General Motors’ 29th annual Supplier of the Year awards. ABC Technologies was one of only 26 companies to be selected for the prestigious Overdrive award in 2020, its second time being selected for the award, this time for launch excellence.

First presented in 2012, GM’s Overdrive Award is a distinction reserved for suppliers who display outstanding achievement within GM’s Global Purchasing and Supply Chain organization’s key focus areas, including sustainable value streams, total enterprise cost and profitability, safety, launch excellence, accelerating innovation and nurturing relationships.

GM also recognized 122 of its best suppliers from 16 countries for performance in the 2020 calendar year in the Supplier of the Year awards. The annual awards highlight 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.

ABC Technologies is one of only a handful of companies in the entirety of the global automotive supplier industry to win this prestigious award 15 times and this is its 6th year in a row receiving a Supplier of the Year (SOTY) recognition from GM and 9th in the last 10 years. While ABC has won multiple SOTY awards from GM in a single year, this year ABC won in an unprecedented 5 categories – Garnish Trim, CATT (Cargo Systems), Exterior Moldings, Floor Consoles, and Wiper Systems.

“As GM works to achieve a future with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion, we are proud to have innovative and dedicated suppliers around the world as partners in this mission,” said Shilpan Amin, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.

“Throughout a challenging year, our suppliers have showed resilience and dedication in working toward our shared goal of long-term sustainability for our planet and the communities we serve, while meeting our present needs,” Amin said. “We are pleased with what we’ve accomplished together in the past year, and we are excited by the opportunity that lies ahead.”

The 2020 Supplier of the Year and Overdrive Award winners were selected by a global team of GM purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing, and logistics leaders. Winners were chosen based on performance criteria in Product Purchasing, Global Purchasing and Manufacturing Services, Customer Care and Aftersales, and Logistics.

“Thank you to GM and to all our employees at ABC for this incredible award in not just one, but five categories of Supplier of the Year as well as the additional acknowledgment of our launch success with the highly sought-after GM Overdrive Award. These awards reflect the value that we deliver to GM and all our customers, but also recognizes the commitment and determination of our employees to exceed expectations in even the toughest environments. We will continue to push the organization towards greater heights in innovation, quality and service, always putting our customers first” said Todd Sheppelman, CEO and President at ABC Technologies.
