Goodyear Dunlop receives Nissan Quality Certificate

During the annual Nissan Europe Supplier Quality Seminar, representatives from Nissan’s Purchasing Department recognised Goodyear Dunlop’s “excellent quality performance in supplying automotive components to Nissan.” Although it announced news of this honour today, the tyre maker was awarded at a ceremony that took place at the Nissan Brand Center in Barcelona, Spain last September.

“Receiving this award from Nissan is a great honour for Goodyear and our cross functional teams,” comments Nick Harley, Goodyear’s managing director OE Consumer EMEA. “It acknowledges our great every-day commitment to provide Nissan not only with excellent products, but also with an excellent service.”

Nissan stated during the seminar that Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany was granted the Quality Certificate due to its “excellent quality performance in supplying automotive components.” When assessing suppliers, the vehicle manufacturer’s purchasing department considers several relevant aspects, such as delivery, costs and incidents in assessing suppliers. For 2016, Nissan valued Goodyear’s performance very positively thanks to the remarkable results achieved in the Production Process Model, which caused zero issues to Nissan throughout the year.
