Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ:GNTX) was named a GM Supplier of the
Year by General Motors during a virtual ceremony honoring the
recipients of the company’s 28th annual Supplier of the
Year awards on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.
During the event, GM recognized 116 of its best suppliers from
15 countries that have consistently exceeded GM’s expectations,
created outstanding value or introduced innovations to the company.
The awards ceremony was originally scheduled as a live-event to be
held in March but was postponed due to the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. The recognition is for supplier performance in the 2019
calendar year.

The Company is a long-time supplier to General Motors. It is the
21st time Gentex has received the award.
“Our suppliers play a key role in delivering the products,
services and experiences our customers deserve – and these
award-winning suppliers went above and beyond our expectations,”
said Shilpan Amin, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply
Chain.
“We also believe it’s important at this point in time to thank
our entire supply base for their efforts the last few months to
mitigate the impacts of COVID-19,” added Amin. “Not only have we
been able to safely restart our manufacturing operations, our
suppliers played a key role in assisting our initiatives to
increase the supply of ventilators and personal protection
equipment (PPE) for frontline health care workers to help save
lives and keep communities safe.”
The Supplier of the Year award winners were chosen by a global
team of GM purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and
