This is SPIROL Canada’s fifth year and SPIROL Connecticut’s fourth consecutive year receiving this prestigious award. GM said the award is given to specific manufacturing locations and only to its top performing supplier manu- facturing sites. Award winners have met or exceeded a very stringent set of quality performance criteria and have achieved the cross-functional support of the entire GM organization. With only 10% of GM suppliers having received this award for 2018, these are significant achievements and a testament to SPIROL’s operational excellence and quality control—especially considering the millions or parts supplied to GM from SPIROL’s global locations. SPIROL has also opened a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in Apodaca, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This new world-class factory is designed to improve product handling, house the latest technologies in process control and product inspection and provide the needed space for future growth. www.ndindustries.com www.SPIROL.com Page 1
