General Motors names Siemens a 2022 Supplier of the Year

General Motors has recognised Siemens Digital Industries Software as a 2022 Supplier of the Year. GM celebrated honourees at its 31st annual Supplier of the Year event in San Antonio, Texas, earlier this month.

GM’s Supplier of the Year award recognises global suppliers that distinguish themselves by exceeding GM’s requirements, in turn providing customers with innovative technologies and among the highest quality in the automotive industry. This is the 6th time Siemens has received the award.

“We are delighted by this recognition of our contribution to GM’s leadership in the automotive field as they work toward their goals for sustainable innovation,” said Tony Hemmelgarn, president and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software. “This award demonstrates how the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio and our comprehensive digital twin technology continues to enable true pioneers and innovators to bring together the physical and digital worlds. This is never truer than in the automotive industry as it faces the challenges of electrification, autonomy and decarbonisation.”

Jeff Morrison, GM vice president of global purchasing and supply chain, said: “We are thrilled to recognise these outstanding suppliers after yet another challenging year in the automotive industry. They overcame countless obstacles and exemplified what it means to be resilient, resourceful and determined. Beyond that, these suppliers demonstrated their commitment to sustainable innovation and to driving advanced solutions in collaboration with the GM team.”
