Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF) was named a 2021 GM Supplier
of the Year by General Motors at its 30th annual Supplier of the
Year awards ceremony in Phoenix, Arizona, earlier this week. This
is the fifth consecutive year Cleveland-Cliffs has received the
award.
GM’s Supplier of the Year award recognizes 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. This year, GM
recognized 134 suppliers from 16 countries with the Supplier of the
Year distinction.
“This year’s Supplier of the Year event was special not only
because it’s the 30th anniversary of the program, but because it
provided us with the opportunity to recognize our suppliers for
persevering through one of the most challenging years the industry
has ever faced,” said Shilpan Amin, GM vice president, Global
Purchasing and Supply Chain. “These top suppliers showed resilience
and reinforced their commitment to pursuing sustainability and
innovation. Through our strong relationships and collaboration, GM
and our suppliers are poised to build a brighter future for
generations to come.”
Lourenco Goncalves, Cleveland-Cliffs’ Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer said, “Our position as the largest supplier
of automotive steel in the United States is unquestionable, and our
partnership with GM is an important piece of our leading market
share. Unlike other US steel companies, we can supply any steel
specs for all vehicles, and customers like GM have recognized this
and given us the prominent position we have in their supply chain.
We are proud to accept this award for the fifth year in a row.”
A global cross functional team selected the 2021 Supplier of the
Year winners based on performance criteria in Product Purchasing,
Global Purchasing and Manufacturing Services, Customer Care and
