Goodyear a Boeing Supplier of the Year

On 18 April, the Boeing Company honoured Goodyear Tire & Rubber as one of its 17 most exceptional suppliers. Goodyear was selected from a pool of more than 23,000 Boeing suppliers from around the world and received a Boeing Supplier of the Year award at a ceremony held in San Diego, US. The tyre maker was awarded in the Electronics/Hydraulics/Mechanical category.

“In today’s challenging business environment, an agile supply chain that continuously delivers excellent performance is critical,” said Jack House, vice-president of Supplier Management for Boeing Defense, Space & Security and leader of Boeing’s companywide Supplier Management programme. “The suppliers receiving Supplier of the Year awards have demonstrated outstanding commitment to providing our customers with the best-value, highest-quality products and services, while meeting the customers’ requirements and anticipating their needs for the future.”

“Boeing has been a valued Goodyear customer for many years,” added Pierre Jambon, vice-president, Off-Highway Tires, Goodyear. “We are proud to receive the Boeing Supplier of the Year award. This is an important honour, and we look forward to maintaining a high level of excellence as we continue to supply our premium tyres and services to Boeing.”

Boeing selected its winning suppliers based on statistical measurements of quality, on-time delivery, post-delivery support, cost and the ability to anticipate and respond to changing customer requirements.
