[NYSE: BA] has named its 2017 Supplier of the Year Award winners,
recognizing 13 companies for the high-quality products, services
and value they create for Boeing as well as its commercial

Strong performance and close collaboration with these
award-winning suppliers in 2017 helped Boeing realize record
commercial airplane deliveries, growth in our services business and
solid defense, space and security performance.
"Our continued success in an increasingly challenging business
environment is driven in large part by having the aerospace

supply chain," said Boeing Chairman, President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg. "This year's Supplier of the

collaboration and sustained exceptional performance—qualities we
