The US automaker presents this award to its suppliers for their outstanding performance and thus recognises NORMA Group for its reliability as a supplier, for its high quality products and for its excellent service.
"Platinum Supplier Status from General Motors shows the high quality of the products we offer, how efficient our manufacturing systems are and how high our standards are for service to the customer," said Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group.
