Allegiant International LLC Recognized by General Motors as a 2016 Supplier of the Year Winner

GM recognized 118 of its best suppliers from 15 countries that have consistently exceeded GM's expectations, created outstanding value or brought new innovations to the company. The announcement represented the most suppliers GM has recognized since debuting the Supplier of the Year event in 1992. This is the first time Allegiant International LLC has received the award.

"We are focused on building positive supplier relationships, bringing new, customer-centric innovations to GM and being the OEM of choice among suppliers," said Steve Kiefer, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. "The companies we recognize tonight not only have brought innovation, they delivered it with the quality our customers deserve."

More than half of the suppliers are repeat winners from 2015.

Winning suppliers were chosen by a global team of GM purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and logistics executives and selected based on performance criteria in Product Purchasing, Indirect Purchasing, Customer Care and Aftersales, and Logistics.

"Allegiant is honored to receive this significant award and proud to be included with the elite group of businesses that were recognized by General Motors," said Nicole Grove, Founder and CEO.  "I congratulate each of our team members for contributing to our partnership with GM and Allegiant's success. Allegiant looks forward to continuing the long-standing relationship with GM and being recognized as a trusted and reliable partner to manufacturing companies worldwide; delivering innovative, effective, and sustainable results."
