Michelin Supplier Award an honour – VMI

Amongst the companies recognised for exceptional contribution to the Michelin Group over the past years at a ceremony held yesterday evening at the museum Aventure Michelin in Clermont-Ferrand, France was VMI. Harm Voortman, VMI Group chief executive officer, received the award from Jean-Dominique Senard, chief executive of the Michelin Group.

Michelin presented the award making specific reference to the commitment VMI has shown towards building a partnership with the Michelin Group, a partnership that is expected to offer both parties greater shared benefits for the future. The award acknowledged VMI’s performance over the past several years in meeting the tyre maker’s challenging high standards.

The long-lasting cooperation between VMI and Michelin dates back to the early 1970’s with the delivery of a batch-off followed by several other types of equipment. More recently, the cooperation has evolved into the supply of highly advanced tyre building technology.

“We are very honoured to have received this prestigious award from Michelin and we highly appreciate the rewarding cooperation,” said Harm Voortman during his acceptance speech. “We feel this award is a recognition of our efforts to assure the success of our customers by supplying advanced technology and services. We look forward to our joined cooperation in the years to come.”
